What is Symmetry?
Take some geometrical object. It is called symmetric if some geometricmove preserves it
Today we will be interested in reflection across the x-axis, reflection acrossthe y -axis and reflection across the origin.
Reflection across y reflection across x reflection across (0, 0)
Sends (x,y) to (-x,y) Sends (x,y) to (x,-y) Sends (x,y) to (-x,-y)

What Symmetries does the graph of x3 + x = y2 − 1 have?
Across the x-axis?
Replace y by −y to get
x3 + x = (−y)2 − 1 which is equivalent to x3 + x = y2 − 1
This graph is Symmetric about x-axis.
Across the y -axis? Replace x by −x to get
(−x)3 + (−x) = y2 − 1 which is equivalent to −(x3 + x) = y2 − 1
This is not equivalent to the original equation. This graph is notsymmetric about x-axis.
Symmetric about the origin?Replace x by −x and y by −y and see if you get an equivalentequation.

What Symmetries does the graph of x3 + x = y2 − 1 have?
Across the x-axis? Replace y by −y to get
x3 + x = (−y)2 − 1 which is equivalent to x3 + x = y2 − 1
This graph is Symmetric about x-axis.
Across the y -axis? Replace x by −x to get
(−x)3 + (−x) = y2 − 1
which is equivalent to −(x3 + x) = y2 − 1
This is not equivalent to the original equation. This graph is notsymmetric about x-axis.
Symmetric about the origin?Replace x by −x and y by −y and see if you get an equivalentequation.

Finding the x and y -intercepts of circles
The standard equation for the circle of radius r centered at (h, k) is
(x − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r2
Find the x-intercepts of the circle centered at (7, 3) with radius 5.
plug y = 0 into (x − 7)2 + (y − 3)2 = 52
(x − 7)2 + (0− 3)2 = 25
(x − 7)2 = 25− 9 = 16
(x − 7) = ±4
x = 7 + 4 = 11 or x = 7− 4 = 3

The general form for circles and completing the square
Does the equation x2 + 2x + y2 − 4y = 20 give a circle?
Let’s try a wolfram alpha plot.We should be able to put this in standard form.Let’s review Completing the square.
Expand (x + 1)2 = x2 + 2x + 1. So, x2 + 2x = (x + 1)2 − 1
Expand (y − 2)2 = y2 − 4y + 4. So, y2 − 4y = (y − 2)2 − 4
Substituting these into our original equation we get:
(x + 1)2 − 1 + (y − 2)2 − 4 = 20
(x + 1)2 + (y − 2)2 = 25
