==Basic properties== ===Uniqueness=== * If a function is both even and odd, it is equal to 0 everywhere it is defined. * If a function is odd, the [[absolute value]] of that function is an even function. ===Addition and subtraction=== * The [[addition|sum]] of two even functions is even. * The sum of two odd functions is odd. * The [[subtraction|difference]] between two odd functions is odd. * The difference between two even functions is even. * The sum of an even and odd function is not even or odd, unless one of the functions is equal to zero over the given [[Domain of a function|domain]]. ===Multiplication and division=== * The [[multiplication|product]] and [[Division (mathematics)|quotient]] of two even functions is an even function. ** This implies that the product of any number of even functions is also even. ** This implies that the [[reciprocal function|reciprocal]] of an even function is also even. * The product and quotient of two odd functions is an even function. * The product and both quotients of an even function and an odd function is an odd function. ** This implies that the reciprocal of an odd function is odd. ===Composition=== * The [[function composition|composition]] of two even functions is even. * The composition of two odd functions is odd. * The composition of an even function and an odd function is even. * The composition of any function with an even function is even (but not vice versa). ===Inverse function=== * If an odd function is [[inverse function|invertible]], then its inverse is also odd.
