Chapter 2.4, Problem 21AYU

In Problems 19-26, sketch the graph of each function. Be sure to label three points on the graph.

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{x}$

To determine

To graph: Graph the given function $f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{x}$.

Answer to Problem 21AYU

Explanation of Solution

Given function is : $f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{x}$

Giving the values for $x$, we will get the corresponding $y -\text{coordinate}$ values.

$x$	$y=\frac{1}{x}$	$\left(x,y\right)$
$1$	$1$	$\left(1,1\right)$
$-1$	$-1$	$\left(-1,-1\right)$
$2$	$0.5$	$\left(2,0.5\right)$
$0.5$	$2$	$\left(0.5,2\right)$
$-2$	$-0.5$	$\left(-2,-0.5\right)$
$-0.5$	$-2$	$\left(-0.5,-2\right)$
