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.
