Objectives To graph reciprocal functionsTo graph translations of reciprocal functions
Functions that model inverse variation have the form f (x) 5 ax, where x 2 0. Th ey
belong to a family whose parent is the reciprocal function f (x) 5 1x, where x 2 0.
Essential Understanding Transformations of the parent reciprocal function include stretches, compressions (or shrinks), refl ections, and horizontal and vertical translations.
Key Concept General Form of the Reciprocal Function Family
Th e general form of a member of the reciprocal function family is y 5 a
x 2 h 1 k, where x 2 h.
Th e inverse variation functions, y 5 ax, are stretches, shrinks,
and refl ections of the parent reciprocal function, depending on the value of a.
Th e graph of the parent reciprocal function y 5 1x is shown at
the right.

What is the graph of y 5 8x, x u 0? Identify the x- and y-intercepts and the asymptotes
of the graph. Also, state the domain and range of the function.
Step 1 Make a table of values that Step 2 Graph the points. includes positive and negative values of x.
Step 3 Connect the points with a smooth curve. x cannot be zero, so there is no y-intercept. Th e numerator is never zero, so y is never 0. Th ere is no x-intercept.
Th e x-axis is a horizontal asymptote. Th e y-axis is a vertical asymptote.
Knowing the asymptotes provides you with the basic shape of the graph.
Th e domain is the set of all real numbers except x 5 0.
Th e range is the set of all real numbers except y 5 0.
1. a. What is the graph of y 5 12x ? Identify the x- and y-intercepts and the
asymptotes of the graph. Also, state the domain and range of the function.
b. Reasoning Would the function y 5 6x have the same domain and range
as y 5 8x or y 5 12
x ? Explain.
Each part of the graph of a reciprocal function is a branch. Th e branches of the parent function y 5 1
x are in Quadrants I and III. Stretches and compressions of the parent function remain in the same quadrants. Refl ections are in Quadrants II and IV.

Clubs Th e rowing club is renting a 57-passenger bus for a day trip. Th e cost of the bus is $750. Five passengers will be chaperones. If the students who attend share the bus cost equally, what function models the cost per student C with respect to the number of students n who attend? What is the domain of the function? How many students must ride the bus to make the cost per student no more than $20?
To share the cost equally, divide 750 by the number of students, n, who attend.
Th e function that models the cost per student is C 5 750n .
Th e bus has a capacity of 57 passengers and there will be 5 chaperones. Th e maximum number of students is 57 2 5 5 52.
Th e domain is the integers from 1 to 52.
Use a graphing calculator to solve the inequality 750n # 20. Let
Y1 5 750x and Y2 5 20.
Change the window dimensions to get a closer look at the graph. Use the intersect feature.
At least 38 students must ride the bus.
5. Th e junior class is renting a laser tag facility with a capacity of 325 people. Th e cost for the facility is $1200. Th e party must have 13 adult chaperones.
a. If every student who attends shares the facility cost equally, what function models the cost per student C with respect to the number of students n who attend? What is the domain of the function? How many students must attend to make the cost per student no more than $7.50?
b. Th e class wants to promote the event by giving away 30 spots to students in a drawing. How does the model change? Now how many paying students must attend so the cost for each is no more than $7.50?
• The bus holds 57 passengers.
• The bus costs $750. • Five riders are chaperones
who pay nothing for the bus.
• A function for the cost per student
• The number of students needed so that the cost does not exceed $20 per student
• Write a reciprocal function for the situation.
• Graph the function and solve an inequality using the $20 limit.
If x 37, the costwill be more than $20.Intersection
X = 37.5 Y = 20
For all values greater than or equalto 38, the cost is less than $20.
IntersX = 37
The number of peoplemust be a whole number.
Is the domain x K 52?No; the domain is the possible numbers of students, so only positive integers make sense.
Graph each function. Identify the x- and y-intercepts and the asymptotes of the graph. Also, state the domain and the range of the function.
