how do you sketch a graph of (i) f(x)= 2\x I'm not sure what you are using a backwards slash \ to mean, but I'll assume it just means a fraction dividing line. If it doesn't then post again telling us what you mean by \. (i)Get some points: let x = -4, then , so plot (-4,-.5) let x = -2, then , so plot (-2,-1) let x = -1, then , so plot (-1,-2) let x = -.3, then , so plot (-.3,-7) We cannot choose x = 0, because division by 0 is not defined. This means the line x = 0 (the y-axis) is an asymptote, a vertical line which the graph gets closer and closer to but never touches. Now plot some points on the right of the y-axis, where x is positive: let x = .3, then f(x) = f(.3) = 2/(.3) = 6.7, so plot (.3,7) let x = 1, then f(x) = f(1) = 2/(1) = 2, so plot (1,2) let x = 2, then f(x) = f(2) = 2/(2) = 1, so plot (2,1) let x = 4, then f(x) = f(4) = 2/(4) = .5, so plot (4,.5) ---------- (ii) g(x) = x Get some points let x = 0, then f(x) = f(0) = 0, so plot (1,1) let x = 1, then f(x) = f(1) = 1, so plot (1,1) let x = 2, then f(x) = f(2) = 2, so plot (2,2) let x = -2, then f(x) = f(-2) = -2, so plot (-2,-2) Draw a line through these points: (iii) h(x) = 2x/2 The 2's cancel and that's the same as f(x) = x, problem (2). If that's not what you meant, then post again with more details on what you meant. Edwin
