Math Problem Statement

h(x)= |1/x| grafica

Solution

The function h(x)=1xh(x) = \left| \frac{1}{x} \right| represents the absolute value of the reciprocal function. Let's analyze and describe its key characteristics to understand its graph:

Key characteristics of h(x)=1xh(x) = \left| \frac{1}{x} \right|:

  1. Domain: The function is undefined at x=0x = 0 because division by zero is not possible. Therefore, the domain is (,0)(0,)(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty).
  2. Range: Since we are taking the absolute value, the output is always positive. The range is (0,)(0, \infty).
  3. Asymptotes:
    • Vertical Asymptote: At x=0x = 0, the function approaches infinity as xx gets closer to zero from either side. Hence, there is a vertical asymptote at x=0x = 0.
    • Horizontal Asymptote: As x|x| increases (either positively
