odd and even functions are symmetrical with respect to the y axis or with respect to the orgin
f(-x) = f(x) is symmetrical to the y axis and is an even function; example f(x) = x^2
f(-x) = f(x) is symmetrical to the orgin and is an odd function; example f(x) = x^3
Now consider the shifted functions f(x) = (x-2)^2 and f(x) = x^3 - 2 which are neither even nor odd functions.
