A function is said to be even if :

  • A.\(f(t) = -f(-t)\)
  • B.\(f(t) = f(-t)\)
  • C.\(f(t) = -f\left[t - \frac{T_{0}}{2}\right]\)
  • D.\(f(t) = -f(t)\)

Answer: B

A function is even if \(f(t) = f(-t)\).

An even function is symmetrical about the vertical axis: its value at \(-t\) equals its value at \(t\), as for \(\cos t\) or \(t^{2}\). The Fourier series of an even periodic function contains only cosine terms and a constant.

\(f(t) = -f(-t)\) defines an odd function, such as \(\sin t\). \(f(t) = -f(t - T_{0}/2)\) is the condition for half-wave symmetry, under which only odd harmonics appear. \(f(t) = -f(t)\) holds only for the zero function.
