Reciprocal Graphs

Reciprocal Graphs
  • Reciprocal Graphs look like this
  • Reciprocal graphs have asymtotes at the line \(x=0\) and \(y=0\)

    When you have a larger value on the numerator, the graph will be stretched outwards.
Varients of reciprocal graphs
  • When you have a power on the \(x\) term, the graph changes.
  • With the graph \(y=\frac{1}{x^2}\), the graph has both curves in the upper half of the graph.
