If for a function f the equation f(x) = f( -x ) is true, is it also automatically true for all its derivatives and antiderivatives?

2No. e.g. $f(x)=\cos x$. – 2012-04-24

1Just derive and obtain $f'(x) = - f'(-x)$, so $f'$ is origin-symmetric as are derivatives of odd order, where derivatives of even order are axis-symmetric. – 2012-04-24
