Reciprocal graphs
𝑎 𝑎
Reciprocal graphs that come in the form of 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 or 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2, where 𝑎 is any
real number, can also be sketched by considering their asymptotes. The graphs
𝑎 𝑎
of 𝑦 = 𝑥 and 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 both have asymptotes at 𝑥 = 0 and 𝑦 = 0. The basic shapes
of these reciprocal graphs can be illustrated as:
