Inverse variation (y=k/x) is also called the

reciprocal function. The Reciprocal Function is


a special type of Rational Equation.

This is a special type of rational function.
You can graph it using the rules we’ll learn
on Day 3, or you can graph it using the rules
from today. However, the rules you learn
today CANNOT be applied to ALL rational
functions. Today’s rules only work if the
numerator is a constant!! Next class, we will
study more difficult rational equations as
well – equations that can’t be graphed by a
simple shift.

The rowing club is renting a 57-passenger bus for
a day trip. The cost of the bus is $750. Five
passengers will be chaperones.

If the students who attend share the How many students must ride the
bus cost equally, what function bus to make the cost per student no

750
who attend?
750  20
c= n
n Solve as if this was an equation
The cost C per student depends on the
number of students n attending. 20n = 750
So, what is the domain of the function?

57 passengers − 5 chaperones means n = 37.5


52 max students Can’t have half a person so there
will have to be 38 students to
make the cost no more than
$20/person
