Solution

The statement is true.

Explanation

If f(x)=f(x) f(-x) = f(x) for all x x , this means that the function takes the same value at x x and at x -x . This property of the function indicates that it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

In more formal terms:

  • A function f(x) f(x) is defined to be even if it satisfies the condition f(x)=f(x) f(-x) = f(x) for every x x in its domain.
  • The symmetry with respect to the y-axis means that the function looks the same on both sides of the y-axis.

Thus, because the condition f(x)=f(x) f(-x) = f(x) holds for all x x , the conclusion that the function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis is correct.

Final Answer

True
