Even/odd functions

A function, f(x)f(x) is:

  • even if f(−x)=f(x)f(-x)=f(x).
  • odd if if f(−x)=−f(x)f(-x)=-f(x).

Definition: Suppose f(x)f(x) is even and defined on [−L,L][-L, L], where LL is some constant, then:

∫−LLf(x)dx=2∫0Lf(x)dx\int_{-L}^{L} f(x) d x=2 \int_{0}^{L} f(x) d x

If f(x)f(x) is odd and defined on [−L,L][-L, L], then:

∫−LLf(x)dx=0\int_{-L}^{L} f(x) d x=0
