Math Problem Statement
graph the function y= ( x-1 / x + 1 ) bracket indicates absolute value
Solution
as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Define the function y = |(x - 1) / (x + 1)|
def func(x): return np.abs((x - 1) / (x + 1))
Generate x values, avoiding x = -1 to prevent division by zero
x = np.linspace(-10, 10, 1000) x = x[x != -1]
Calculate y values
y = func(x)
Plot the function
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6)) plt.plot(x, y, label="y = |(x - 1) / (x + 1)|") plt.axhline(0, color='black', linewidth=0.8, linestyle='--') # x-axis plt.axvline(0, color='black', linewidth=0.8, linestyle='--') # y-axis plt.title("Graph of y = |(x - 1) / (x + 1)|") plt.xlabel("x") plt.ylabel("y") plt.ylim(0, 10) # Set y-axis limits for clarity plt.legend() pltHere is the graph of the function . Let me know if you'd like an explanation of the features of the graph or any related queries.
Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:
- What happens to the function as approaches -1?
- How does the graph change if the absolute value is removed?
- What are the domain and range of this function?
- How would the graph be affected if the numerator was instead of ?
- Can this function be integrated over a specified interval? If so, how?
Tip: Pay attention to critical points like where the function is undefined or changes rapidly; these are often key to
