Question
**Graph of a Function and Its Symmetry**

The graph of a function defined for \(x \geq 0\) is given in the first diagram. 

### Part (a)
**Complete the graph for \(x < 0\) to make an even function.**

An even function satisfies the property \(f(x) = f(-x)\). This means the graph must be symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Below the given function graph, you have four possible graphs that attempt to complete the given function for \(x < 0\):

1. **Left Side Graph 1:** 
   - This graph correctly mirrors the original function on the given side over the y-axis.

2. **Right Side Graph 1:**
   - This graph includes mirrored portions, but not all parts correctly overlay with the original function.

3. **Left Side Graph 2:**
   - This graph, again, mirrors the original but doesn’t accurately reflect the peaks and troughs of the given function over the y-axis.

4. **Right Side Graph 2:**
   - Similarly, this graph doesn’t accurately reflect the symmetry required for an even function.

### Part (b)
**Complete the graph for \(x < 0\) to make an odd function.**

An odd function satisfies the property \(f(-x) = -f(x)\). This means the graph must be symmetric about the origin. Below are four additional possible ways the function can be extended to \(x < 0\):

1. **Left Side Graph 1:**
   - The graph correctly reflects the original function rotated 180 degrees about the origin.

2. **Right Side Graph 1:**
   - This completion also shows an appropriate rotation indicating an odd function.

3. **Left Side Graph 2:**
   - This graph reflects incorrect symmetry, which doesn’t satisfy the property of an odd function.

4. **Right Side Graph 2:**
   - This graph shows an inaccurate rotation and doesn’t meet the requirements for an odd function.
  
### Detailed Explanation of Diagrams

- **Given Graph:** Displays a function from \(x = 0\) to \(x > 0\).
- **Even Function Completion Options:**
  - The correct diagrams provide a y-axis reflection of the given function ensuring symmetry.
- **Odd Function Completion Options:**
  - The accurate diagrams show a 180-degree rotation ensuring the function satisfies the origin
