Reciprocal & Exponential Graphs

Question 1

Review reciprocal graphs + what they are (on Notability/GC)

Answer 1

Good luck!!!

Question 2

What is an asymptote?

Answer 2

• asymptotes are lines a curve approaches without ever touching

Question 3

How many asymptotes does a reciprocal graph usually have?

Answer 3

• Reciprocal graphs usually have 1 vertical asymptote + 1 horizontal asymptote

Question 4

What is an exponential graph?

Answer 4

• an EXPONENTIAL graph is one of the form my = a^x
• for some, a > 0

Question 5

Review the 3 different cases of an exponential graph (on Notability/GC)

Answer 5

Good luck!!!

Question 6

What does the graph of y = f(x) + a represent.

Answer 6

• the graph of y =f(x) + a represents a vertical translation of y =f(x) by ‘a’ unites in positive y direction
  -> i.e. translation by vector (0 over a)
