Reciprocal Function

This interactive file shows the graphs of functions and the graph of the corresponding reciprocal function. It begins with the graph of a linear function where the gradient and intercept can be changed. The reciprocal is plotted on the same diagram. The next two sheets show graphs of quadratic and cubic functions whose coefficients can be altered. The graph is plotted and the graph of the reciprocal function shown. In the same way the graphs of trigonometric and exponential functions and their reciprocals are dealt with.
