How to determine the graph of the rational function

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

1/x

Express as a function

So, we have

f(x) = 1/x

The properties of the above function are as follows:

The vertical asymptote

To do this, we et the denominator to 0

x = 0

Evaluate

x = 0

So, the function’s vertical asymptotes is x = 0

Because the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator,

The function has y = 0 as its horizontal asymptote

For the y-intercept of the function,, we set x = 0

So, we have

f(0) = 1/0

Evaluate

f(0) = undefined

So, the y-intercept of f(x) is undefined

To find the x-intercept of the function, we set y = 0

So, we have

1/x = 0

Evaluate

1 = 0

So, the x-intercept of the function does not exist

The graph of the function is attached
