    Question 38

    Let y = -y

    -y = 1/(x^2 + 1)

    y = -1/(x^2 + 1)

    Not symmetric with respect to the x-axis.

    Let x = -x

    y = 1/[(-x)^2 + 1)]

    y = 1/(x^2 + 1)

    Symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

    Let y = -y and x = -x

    -y = 1/[(-x)^2 + 1)]

    -y = 1/(x^2 + 1)

    y = -1/(x^2 + 1)

    Not symmetric with respect to the origin.

    Back to Calculus tomorrow through Sunday. No math tonight.

    Two reasons:

    1. I am very tired.

    2. Need a mental break.
