how would i do this?
#Sketching graphs
rotund beacon
if x=0, y=1/2
and if y=0
0 = 1/x+2
if i bring x+2 to the other side 0=1
that dont look right
main yew
this is how i do it but its a bit weird
imagine f(x) = 1/x
then 1/(x+2) is the same as f(x+2), which is a translation by vector (-2, 0)
so draw the normal y=1/x graph, then bring it 2 units to the left
rotund beacon
how do i draw 1/x graph
like its reciprocal
but like
where exactly if u get what i mean
main yew
basically, draw the reciprocal graph, make sure it never touches the x-axis or the x=-2 line
x=-2 is the asympotote because if you substitute it
y = 1(2-2) = 1/0 which is undefined
rotund beacon
so when i draw the graph can i draw is like wherever on the paper as long as it looks like that?
or do i have to like label smth so they know im drawing a y=1/x graph
ooh wait nvm i see
main yew
it doesn’t have to be exactly accurate, but make sure the line follows the shape (also you have to include the intersection points)
rotund beacon
its on the -2 on the x axis
rotund beacon
it doesn’t have to be exactly accurate, but make sure the line follows the shape...
okk
so where it intersects the y axis
is 1/2 ?
0.5
main yew
yes
