Chapter 1: Problem 53

Graph each equation. $$y=\frac{1}{x}\left(\text { Let } x=-2,-1,-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{2}, 1, \text { and } 2 .\right)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
Graph the given values on a coordinate plane to create a hyperbola that approaches but does not touch the x and y axes.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the equation

The given equation is \( y = \frac{1}{x} \). This equation describes an hyperbola. The behavior of the hyperbola is such that it approaches, but never reaches, the x-axis or the y-axis.
02

Calculate y for each x-value

Now you will substitute each x-value into the equation to obtain the corresponding y-value. The pairs (x, y) will then coorespond to the points that are to be plotted on the graph
03

Create a table

List all x-values on one column, calculate the corresponding y-values and list them in another column. Your table should look something like this: \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x & y \ \hline -2 & -0.5 \ -1 & -1 \ -\frac{1}{2} & -2 \ -\frac{1}{3} & -3 \ \frac{1}{3} & 3 \ \frac{1}{2} & 2 \ 1 & 1 \ 2 & 0.5 \ \hline \end{array} \]
04

Plotting the Graph

Draw an x-y coordinate system. For each pair of (x, y) from your table, plot a point on the graph. Connect the points to create the hyperbola, making sure it approaches but never touches the axes.

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning.I used a function to model data from 1990 through 2015 .I have two functions. Function \(f\) models total world population \(x\) years after 2000 and function \(g\) models population of the world's more-developed regions \(x\) years after 2000.1 can use \(f-g\) to determine the population of the world's less-developed regions for the years in both function's domains.

Here is the Federal Tax Rate Schedule \(X\) that specifies the tax owed by a single taxpayer for a recent year. (TABLE CANNOT COPY) The preceding tax table can be modeled by a piecewise function, where \(x\) represents the taxable income of a single taxpayer and \(T(x)\) is the tax owed: $$T(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ccc} 0.10 x & \text { if } & 0379,150 \end{array}\right.$$ Use this information to solve. Find and interpret \(T(20,000)\)
