Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of curves does the equation y = k/x represent?
  • Step 1: Understand the equation y = k/x. Here, 'y' is the output, 'k' is a constant number, and 'x' is the input.
  • Step 2: Recognize that as 'x' changes, 'y' will also change based on the value of 'k'.
  • Step 3: Notice that when 'x' is positive, 'y' will also be positive, and when 'x' is negative, 'y' will be negative.
  • Step 4: Realize that the graph of this equation will not touch the x-axis or y-axis, creating two separate curves.
  • Step 5: Understand that these curves are called hyperbolas, which are a type of curve that opens away from each other.
