Even and Odd Functions

Symmetry: odd function?

Symmetry: odd function?

The function, $f(x)=x^3-9x$ is odd since the graph is symmetric about the origin.  One can also check that any point is symmetric about the origin: for example, does $(-1,8)$ yield $(1,-8)$?  Yes, those two points are symmetric about the origin.
