The integral of any odd function between - ï¥ and ï¥ is equal to zero, see Figure 1. (a) . f (x) = e â a x 2 (b) . [ g (x) f (x) ] = x e â a x 2 even odd * even Figure 1. Even and odd integrals. T o determine if a function is even, check to see if f(x) = f( - x). For an odd function, f(x) = â f( - x). Some funct ions are neither odd nor even. For example, f(x) = x is odd, f(x) = x 2 is even, and f(x) = x + x 2 is neither odd nor even. T he following multipli cation rules hold: even*even = even odd*odd =e ven odd*even = odd C onsider the integral of f (x) = e â a x 2 , Figure 1a . The function is even so that ï² ï¥ - ï¥ = 2 ï² ï¥ 0 . Next consider g (x) = x , which is odd , giving [ g (x) f (x) ] = x e â a x 2 a s overall odd (Figure 1 b ). The integral is zero for the product function. x y 0 even integrals add x y 0 odd integrals cancel
