Even Odd Functions

A parabola y = x2 is an even function. That means if x = 2 or x = -2 y = 4
y = (-2)2 = (-2)(-2) = 4 and y = 22 = (2)(2) = 4

To the left is the graph of a parabola. Notice that if x = 2 or -2 the graph is exactly
4 units above the x axis and the coordinates of that point are (2, 4) or (-2, 4)
Graphically that means if you rotate the parabola's graph around the y axis
the appearance of the graph will not change.
