Basic properties: -product of even and odd function

the terminology "identically" is more standard than "everywhere" (I also put "i.e. f(x) = 0 for all x")
Line 29:
===Basic properties===
 
* The only function which is ''both'' even and odd is the [[constant function]] which is everywhereidentically zero (that isi.e., the [[zero|zero''f''(''x'') = 0 for all function]]''x'').
* In general, the [[addition|sum]] of an even and odd function is neither even nor odd; e.g. ''x'' + ''x''<sup>2</sup>.
* The sum of 2 even functions is even, and any constant multiple of an even function is even.
Line 42:
 
* The [[Taylor series]] of an even function includes only even powers.
* The [[Taylor series]] of an odd function includes only odd powers.
* The [[Fourier series]] of a [[periodic]] even function includes only [[trigonometric function|cosine]] terms.
* The [[Fourier series]] of a periodic odd function includes only [[trigonometric function|sine]] terms.
