Question

How do the graphs of y= 1/x and y= 5/x+6? PLEASE EXPLAIN.

Answer 1

I really need some help with this question

Answer 2

-_- i kinda getting pissed off here!

Answer 3

the question is incomplete

Answer 4

it is not

Answer 5

how do you draw the graphs?
because "how do the graphs of ..." isnt asking for anything

Answer 6

i tried doing this problem on my calculator and im still confused

Answer 7

-_-

Answer 8

are you trying to graph it on a calculator?

or are you trying to find the intersection point of the 2 graphs?

Answer 9

im trying to graph it

Answer 10

ok then is your problem, that there is no x=0?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

ok if x= 1/2, y=?
if x=1/4, y=?
if x= 1/8, y=?

as we get closer and closer to zero, you will notice that y will become a really large number

in terms of limits, as you approach x= 0 from the right, y approaches infinity

unfortunately, your calculator is unable to handle the concept of infinity or really really really large numbers which is why you will get an error when you try to divide by zero or a really really really small fraction

Answer 13

oh...

Answer 14

now try to do the same for negative numbers

-1/2, -1/4, -1/8

Answer 15

as the number becomes an even smaller negative fraction, you will notice the result "y" becomes a higher and higher negative number

as x approaches 0 from the left, y approaches negative infinity

Answer 16

im still confused

Answer 17

nvm i got help

Answer 18

just looking at y=1/x

if x=100, y=1/100
x=10, y=1/10
x=1 , y=1
x=.1 , y=10
x=.01,y=100

etc etc etc

if we were to graph these points we would get something that looks like
