Practice makes perfect
a Consider the general equation of a reciprocal function.
Let's rewrite the function so that it matches the general equation of a reciprocal function.

Now we can identify the constant of variation, as well as the horizontal and vertical asymptote.
To draw the function we will start by drawing the asymptotes.

To plot the graph, we have to calculate some points that fall on it.

By marking the points in our coordinate plane, we can draw the function.

b Like in Part A, we need to start by rewriting the function to match the general equation.

Now we can identify the constant of variation, as well as the horizontal and vertical asymptote.
To draw the function, we will start by drawing the asymptotes.

To plot the graph, we have to calculate some points that fall on the graph.

By marking the points in our coordinate plane, we can draw the function.

c Like in previous parts, we want to rewrite the function so that it matches the general equation of a reciprocal function.

Now we can identify the constant of variation, as well as the horizontal and vertical asymptote.
To draw the function, we will start by drawing the asymptotes.

To plot the graph, we have to calculate some points that fall on the graph.

By marking the points in our coordinate plane, we can draw the function.

d Similar to previous parts, we will have to start by factoring and isolating
