The applet below graphically illustrates what it means for a function to be classified as an EVEN FUNCTION. No matter where you choose to place the WHITE POINTS, the gray function will always remain an EVEN FUNCTION. Feel free to place the BIG BLUE POINT wherever you'd like as well. After interacting with this applet for a few minutes, please answer the questions that follow.
