Look at the reciprocal parent function versus the transformed version! Notice where all the values landed.
We will talk more in-depth about this function later, for now we will practice transforming it.

​

Switchin up the order now

​Notice the function is the only thing that has changed! The transformations themselves have remained constant and their placement (looks a little strange here) has also stayed the same.​

Here's our trusty table!

Graph 1 change corresponds to a being negative and graph 4 corresponds to b being negative.

The effect is the exact same, therefore when choosing which value to make negative, it doesn't really matter. Just pick one of them to make negative.

​

Notice the effect on the graph between graph 1 and 4

Complete the examples based off the table in your notes :)

How did you do?

Complete example B

Did you get all the transformations?

Did you type it in correctly?

Did you notice it doesn't matter which value, a or b, we make negative?
