Determine the graph of each function.

For each of the equations below, determine algebraically if the graph of that equation is symmetric with respect to x-axis, y-axis, and origin.

(a) x2+1/x3 = y2

(b) lxl x3 = ³√y

Can you write you equations in your question more clearly?

 X^2 + 1/X^3 = Y^2       X = 1   Y = \/2     X = -1     Y = 0      X = -2     Y = \/2     (\/ = square  root)
This equation is not symmetrical at the X axis, Y axis and origin.  It is only symmetrical at X = -1.  Plot the points
and see for yourself.
[X]X^3 = 3\/Y      X = 0     Y = 0     X = 1      Y = 1/3      X = -1     Y = -1/3   (\/ = square root)
This equation is symmetrical at the X axis, Y axis and origin.  plot the points and see.
