Answer:
- even
- symmetrical about the y-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
You know the function is even because all the terms in its definition have even degree.
An even function is one that satisfies ...
f(x) = f(-x)
An even power of -x is the same as that power of x. (-x)^2 = x^2, for example. So, a function consisting of only even-degree terms will meet the requirement for an even function. The given f(x) is an even function.
__
If f(x) = f(-x), the function reflected across the y-axis is the same as the original function. That is, the y-axis is the axis of symmetry.
