that j is even. However, we have proven that is not the case.<br />

6. Testing the graph of y = p(x) for symmetry is complicated by the fact p(x) is a piecewisedefined<br />

function. As always, we handle this by checking the condition for symmetry by<br />

checking it on each piece of the domain. We first consider the case when x
