PrepSwiftQ14. Quant Tickbox Quiz #9 (Coordinate Geometry Column 3)

So one equation is y=x^2
and another is x=y^2

in case one for x (+1, -1) the value of Y remains same
for second case y(+1,-1) the value of X remains same
and the exponents are even as well
so marked both of them even
not able to understand why the second function that is x=y^2 can’t be even

For an even relation, you need both (x,y) and (-x, y) to exist.

In other words, you need the graph to be symmetric about the y-axis. Is a sideways parabola symmetric about the y-axis?

No, that’s not the case. It’s symmterical about x axis. Got it

Thanks
