Reciprocal Function
Here's a step-by-step guide to visualizing reciprocal functions using GeoGebra:
Step 1: Open GeoGebra
- Go to the GeoGebra website (www.geogebra.org) and click on "Graphing Calculator" to open the GeoGebra Graphing Calculator.
- In the input bar, type the reciprocal function you want to visualize, e.g.,
f(x) = 1/x. - Press Enter to graph the function.
- Click on the "Graphics" menu and select "Graphics Settings".
- In the "Graphics Settings" window, adjust the x-axis and y-axis limits to a suitable range, e.g., -10 to 10.
- Click "OK" to apply the changes.
- The graph of the reciprocal function will be displayed.
- You can zoom in and out using the mouse wheel or the zoom buttons.
- You can also rotate the graph using the rotation buttons.
- Use the "Trace" feature to explore the function. Click on the "Trace" button and then click on the graph.
- Move the cursor along the graph to see the corresponding x and y values.
- You can customize the graph by adding a grid, axis labels, and a title.
- Use the "Graphics" menu to access these features.
f(x) = 1/xf(x) = 1/(x^2)f(x) = 1/(x^2 + 1)
