Study Notes
Reciprocal Squared Equation
- Defined by the equation: y = 1/x²
- Represents a fundamental relationship in mathematics with key features.
Reciprocal Squared Parent Function Graph
- Typically exhibits a hyperbolic shape, established by the equation.
- The graph approaches both the x-axis and y-axis but never intersects them (asymptotic behavior).
Rate of Change (ROC) for Reciprocal Squared
- The function increases at an increasing rate as x approaches 0 from the negative side and decreases at a decreasing rate as x approaches 0 from the positive side.
- Indicates a responsiveness of the function's slope that is accentuated near the origin.
Behavior of Reciprocal Squared
- The function first increases as x moves from negative infinity toward 0, reaching a peak value.
- After reaching its peak, the function subsequently decreases as x moves from 0 to positive infinity.
Positive Intervals of Reciprocal Squared
- The function is positive in two intervals:
- From negative infinity to 0 (non-inclusive of zero)
- From 0 to positive infinity (non-inclusive of zero).
Minimum or Maximum for Reciprocal Squared
- No minimum or maximum exists within the domain of the function.
- The graph continually approaches the x-axis without touching it, demonstrating an open-ended behavior.
Negative Intervals of Reciprocal Squared
- There are no negative intervals where the function yields negative values.
- The function remains positive throughout its defined intervals.
