    Study Notes

    Reciprocal Parent Function Overview

    • The reciprocal parent function is represented by the equation f(x) = 1/x.
    • This function is characterized by its hyperbolic shape, with two distinct branches.

    Reciprocal Parent Function Graph

    • The graph approaches the x-axis and y-axis but never touches either, demonstrating asymptotic behavior.
    • The branches exist in the first quadrant (positive values) and the third quadrant (negative values).

    Rate of Change (ROC)

    • The rate of change for the reciprocal parent function decreases at a decreasing rate as x moves away from zero.
    • Conversely, it decreases at an increasing rate as x approaches zero from either side.

    General Behavior

    • The reciprocal parent function is strictly decreasing across its entire domain.
    • As x approaches zero, f(x) approaches either positive or negative infinity, depending on the direction of approach.

    Extremum Points

    • The reciprocal parent function does not have a minimum or maximum value.
    • It continues infinitely in both the positive and negative y-directions.

    Positivity and Negativity of Intervals

    • The function is positive in the interval from 0 to infinity (x > 0).
    • The function is negative in the interval from negative infinity to 0 (x < 0).
