Question

does anyone know how to graph x2/x?

Answer 1

its the line y = x, but with a vertical asymptote at x = 0, i drew a picture, unploading in a sec.

Answer 2

this can be simplified to just x which is a linear graph with slope of 1

Answer 3

you would need to reduce the equation to...yeah what they said

Answer 4

Ok, does the equal sign with a slash through it mean not equal to? Because it says x and then that sign and then 0.

Answer 5

yes, thats correct

Answer 6

would it be considered an asymptote?
or just a hole at x=0

Answer 7

hmm.....now that i think about it....a hole. good call dumbcow :)

Answer 8

ignore my drawing >.<

Answer 9

Ok, so the part we do not understand is the not equal to 0 part.

Answer 10

i have to say i do rather enjoy the drawling, the reason it cannot be equal to zero is for the domain you need to look at the original function and x^2/x is not in the domain at zero since you would be dividing by zero

Answer 11

Ok! How come there is a zero on the graph point?

Answer 12

if you are on a calculator it is probably because its just that one singular point and its so small that it looks continuous. its all points except for zero so even .000...01 is available, just not zero

Answer 13

correct picture. There is a black hole at x = 0. Stuff gets sucked in and never comes out o.O

Answer 14

:( it is in the textbook. But, that makes sense.

Answer 15

Thank you so much!! You guys are great!! I hope you have a great day and may GOD bless<><
