### Understanding Even and Odd Functions

The following content explains how to determine and complete graphs to make them even or odd functions.

#### Provided Graph
The initial graph of a function defined for \( x \ge 0 \) is given below:

![Graph for \( x \ge 0 \)](image_path)

In the graph above:
- The \( x \)-axis and \( y \)-axis are labeled.
- The function has a complex, non-linear curve starting from the origin and extending towards positive \( x \)-values.

#### Completing for Even Functions
To create an even function, the graph must be symmetric with respect to the \( y \)-axis. This means the left side should mirror the right side. The diagrams below show different potential completions of the graph for \( x < 0 \):

1. **First Row, First Column:**
   - The left side is a mirror image of the right, showing perfect symmetry.
2. **First Row, Second Column:**
   - The left side partially mirrors the right side but diverges midway.
3. **Second Row, First Column:**
   - The left side starts as a partial mirror but diverges significantly near negative \( x \)-values.
4. **Second Row, Second Column:**
   - The left side does not mirror the right side properly. 

The appropriate completion for an even function will be the first in the list as it shows symmetry.

#### Completing for Odd Functions
To create an odd function, the graph must be symmetric with respect to the origin. This means that for every point \( (x, y) \) in the graph, there should be a corresponding point \((-x, -y)\). The diagrams below illustrate different completions to make the graph an odd function:

1. **First Row, First Column:**
   - Both sides show symmetrical properties with respect to the origin.
2. **First Row, Second Column:**
   - The symmetry is imperfect; negative \( x \)-values do not properly mirror positive \( x \)-values.
3. **Second Row, First Column:**
   - The attempt of symmetry fails as negative and positive \( x \)-values do not line up correctly.
4. **Second Row, Second Column:**
   - Shows no proper origin-centred symmetry.

The correct completion for an odd function will be the first in the list, as it effectively demonstrates origin symmetry.
