Which of the following are characteristics of the graph of the reciprocal parent function?
CHECK ALL THAT APPLY
A) it is a parabola
B) it does not go through the origin
C) it is in quadrants I and II
D) it is a hyperbola
The function f(x) = 1/x graphs as a hyperbola in quadrants I and III. Its horizontal and vertical asymptotes are y=0 and x=0, so it does not go through the origin.
The appropriate choices are B) it does not go through the origin D) it is a hyperbola
