Chapter 11.7, Problem 38PPE

To determine

To solve the equation $y=\frac{4}{x}+1$ with graph

Answer to Problem 38PPE

The graph is shown below

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Given equation

  $y=\frac{4}{x}+1$

Calculation:

In order to solve the equation $y=\frac{4}{x}+1$ ,

Firstly we draw a table consider4ing the values of $x$ and $y$

X	y = $\frac{4}{x}$ +1	(x, y)
0	y = $\frac{4}{x}$ +1 y = 1	(0, 1)
4	y = $\frac{4}{x}$ +1 y = 2	(4, 2)
8	y = $\frac{4}{x}$ +1 y = 1.5	(8, 1.5)
12	y = $\frac{4}{x}$ +1 y = 1.33	(12, 1.33)
-12	y = $\frac{4}{x}$ +1 y = 0.66	(-12, 0.66)
-8	y = $\frac{4}{x}$ +1 y = 0.5	(-8, 0.5)
-4	y = $\frac{4}{x}$ +1 y = 0	(-4, 0)

  

Here above the graph is appear by the eqn.

Thus, the solution is correct.
