The graph given is a transformation of y 1x Find a possible
The graph given is a transformation of y = 1/x Find a possible formula for the graph. Write the formula as y = ax + b/cx + d. Find the coordinates of the intercepts of the graph. x-intercept: y-intercept:
Solution
The given function is y=1/x
In the graph,vertical asymptote,x=1 and horizontal asymptote is ,y=2
Vertical asymtote,x=1
So we get x-1 in the bottom. An horizontal asymptote is y=2. It means the degree of the numberator and denominator is same. And since the degree of the bottom is 1,therefore the degree of the top too is 1
So we get
y=(2x-1)/(x-1)
b. y=(2x-1)/(x-1)
c. To find the x intercept we have to plug y=0
0= (2x-1)/(x-1)
x=1/2
X intercept is (1/2,0)
To find the y intercept we have to plug x=0
y= (2*0-1 )/(0-1)=
y intercept is (0,1)
