The answer is the second option: Reciprocal; [tex]y=\frac{1}{x}[/tex].
The explanation for this exercise is shown below:
1. By definition, the a reciprocal function is represented by: [tex]y=\frac{1}{x}[/tex] and you can also write it in the following form: [tex]y=x^{-1}[/tex].
2. The graph of a reciprocal function has the form shown in the graph attached, which you can see it is a hyperbola and a odd function. Also, the function goes closer to the y-axis and x-axis but it does not touch them.
Answer:
Reciprocal : [tex]y = \frac{1}{x}[/tex] Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a graph and four options.
We check all the options one by one.
Option 1: Power y = xⁿ
Here n is any real number.
Graphs of the form y = xⁿ all go through the point (1, 1)
The even powers, y = x⁰, x², x⁴ … also go through ( – 1 , 1)
and the odd powers, y = x¹, x³, x⁵… go through ( – 1 , – 1)
So I will use – 1 ≤ x ≤ 1 as the domain for each graph .
Option 2: Reciprocal [tex]y = \frac{1}{x}[/tex]
Here y is inversely proportional to x.
its a rational function.
We see that for this function a small positive input value yields a large positive output value.
So this is correct.
Option B is correct.
