    1) A reciprocal function f(x) is defined as 1/g(x), where g(x) is any function whose value is not equal to 0. 2) The graph of a reciprocal function can be obtained from the graph of the original function g(x) by taking the reciprocal of each y-value and flipping the graph across the x-axis. 3) Vertical asymptotes on the reciprocal function occur at the same x-values where the original function is undefined.

    LESSON 6:

    eciprocal Function
     
    Recall that the product of a number and its
    reciprocal is always equal to 1.
    So, for any non-zero real number a, the
    reciprocal of a is and the reciprocal of is a.
    For a function , its reciprocal is , provided
    that .

    approaches zero.
    Vertical Asymptote – occur at the non-permissible
    values of the function.
    Horizontal Asymptote – describes the behavior of a
    graph when is very large.
     Key Ideas:
    You can obtain the graph of from the graph of by using the following guidelines:
     The non-permissible values of the reciprocal function are related to the position of the
    vertical asymptotes. These are also the non-permissible values of the corresponding
    rational expression, where the reciprocal function is undefined.
     Invariant points occur when the function f(x) has a value of 1 or -1. To determine the x-
    coordinates of the invariant points, solve for the equation .
     The y-coordinates of the points on the graph of the reciprocal function are the
    reciprocals of the y-coordinates of the corresponding points on the graph of .
     As the value of x approaches a non-permissible value, the absolute value of the
    reciprocal function gets very large.
     As the absolute value of x gets very large, the absolute value of the reciprocal function
    approaches zero.
