Find the Symmetry 7x^4+6=y^2

$7 x^{4} + 6 = y^{2}$

Step 1

There are three types of symmetry:

1. X-Axis Symmetry

2. Y-Axis Symmetry

3. Origin Symmetry

Step 2

If $(x, y)$ exists on the graph, then the graph is symmetric about the:

1. X-Axis if $(x, - y)$ exists on the graph

2. Y-Axis if $(- x, y)$ exists on the graph

3. Origin if $(- x, - y)$ exists on the graph

Step 3

Check if the graph is symmetric about the $x$ -axis by plugging in $- y$ for $y$ .

$7 x^{4} + 6 = {(- y)}^{2}$

Step 4

Simplify.

Apply the product rule to $- y$ .

$7 x^{4} + 6 = {(- 1)}^{2} y^{2}$

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $2$ .

$7 x^{4} + 6 = 1 y^{2}$

Multiply $y^{2}$ by $1$ .

$7 x^{4} + 6 = y^{2}$

Step 5

Since the equation is identical to the original equation, it is symmetric to the x-axis.

Symmetric with respect to the x-axis

Step 6

Check if the graph is symmetric about the $y$ -axis by plugging in $- x$ for $x$ .

$7 {(- x)}^{4} + 6 = y^{2}$

Step 7

Simplify each term.

Apply the product rule to $- x$ .

$7 ({(- 1)}^{4} x^{4}) + 6 = y^{2}$

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $4$ .

$7 (1 x^{4}) + 6 = y^{2}$

Multiply $x^{4}$ by $1$ .

$7 x^{4} + 6 = y^{2}$

Step 8

Since the equation is identical to the original equation, it is symmetric to the y-axis.

Symmetric with respect to the y-axis

Step 9

Check if the graph is symmetric about the origin by plugging in $- x$ for $x$ and $- y$ for $y$ .

$7 {(- x)}^{4} + 6 = {(- y)}^{2}$

Step 10

Simplify.

Simplify each term.

Apply the product rule to $- x$ .

$7 ({(- 1)}^{4} x^{4}) + 6 = {(- y)}^{2}$

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $4$ .

$7 (1 x^{4}) + 6 = {(- y)}^{2}$

Multiply $x^{4}$ by $1$ .

$7 x^{4} + 6 = {(- y)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $- y$ .

$7 x^{4} + 6 = {(- 1)}^{2} y^{2}$

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $2$ .

$7 x^{4} + 6 = 1 y^{2}$

Multiply $y^{2}$ by $1$ .

$7 x^{4} + 6 = y^{2}$

Step 11

Since the equation is identical to the original equation, it is symmetric to the origin.

Symmetric with respect to the origin

Step 12

Determine the symmetry.
