Table of values
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
xy
-54.16667
-43.2
-32.25
-21.33333
-10.5
00
1UND
2-4
3-4.5
4-5.33333
5-6.25
\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Each y value is found by plugging in the corresponding x value. For example, if we plug in x = 3, then \"y+=+%28x%5E2%29%2F%281-x%29+=+%283%5E2%29%2F%281-3%29+=+%289%29%2F%28-2%29+=+-4.5\" giving the pairing (x,y) = (3,-4.5). The rest of the y values are generated in a similar way.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Warning: x = 1 is not allowed since the denominator would turn into 1-x = 1-1 = 0 leading to a division by zero error. The \"UND\" in the table stands for \"Undefined\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Each (x,y) value is then plotted on the same grid and you draw a curve through all the points. In this case, there's two separate pieces that don't join. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From the table shown above, we have these ordered pairs\r
