Short Answer

What is the definition of an odd function? An even function?

A function f is an odd function if $f (- x) = - f (x)$ for all x in the domain of f.

A function f is an even function if $f (- x) = f (x)$ for all x in the domain of f.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1. Explain an odd function.

For a real-valued function $f (x)$ , when the output value of $f (- x)$ is the same as the negative of $f (x)$ , for all values of x in the domain of f, the function is said to be an odd function.

An odd function should hold the following equation $f (- x) = - f (x)$ , for all values of x in the domain of the function f.

Step 2. Explain an even function.

For a real-valued function $f (x)$ , when the output value of $f (- x)$ is the same as $f (x)$ , for all values of x in the domain of f, the function is said to be an even function. An even function should hold the following equation $f (- x) = f (x)$ , for all values of x in the domain of the function f.

The second-order differential equation

$x^{2} y^{''} + x y^{'} + (x^{2} - p^{2}) = 0$

where p is a nonnegative integer, arises in many applications in physics and engineering, including one model for the vibration of a beaten drum. The solution of the differential equation is called the Bessel function of order p, denoted by $J_{p} (x)$ . It may be shown that $J_{p} (x)$ is given by the following power series in x:

$J_{p} (x) = \sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} \frac{(- 1)^{k}}{k! (k + p)! 2^{2 k + p}} x^{2 k + p}$

Graph the first four terms in the sequence of partial sums of $J_{1} (x)$ .
