This week we continued with unit 8 of reciprocal functions and graphing. This is a new concept so it was a challenge to wrap my head around these new concepts and vocabulary.
In lesson 8.3 we learned the most in my opinion. there were some new vocabulary with this unit to help us graph the function :
invariant points : points that don’t change.
hyperbola : the graph of a reciprocal function
horizontal asymptote : The y value that the parabola never touches
vertical asymptote : the x value that the parabola never touches.
the reciprocal of a function will always look like this :
into ->
It will always be a fraction under 1.
This new way of graphing was interesting which made it kind of fun to learn since it was different and we had to think about graphing in a new way.
In lesson 8.5 we did the same thing, but we now had to graph reciprocal QUADRATIC functions. it’s similar to linear in the sense that their will be invariant points and asymptotes, but completely different in how we graph the parabolas. sometimes there will be more then 2 invariant points like in
