Question: Show that if a function is defined on an interval symmetric about the origin (so that is defined at -x whenever it is

Show that if a function ƒ is defined on an interval symmetric about the origin (so that ƒ is defined at -x whenever it is defined at x), thenf(x) = f(x) + f(-x) 2 + f(x) = f(-x) 2 (1)


Then show that (ƒ(x) + ƒ(-x))/2 is even and that (ƒ(x) - ƒ(-x))/2 is odd.

f(x) = f(x) + f(-x) 2 + f(x) = f(-x) 2 (1)
