Plot the graph of 1/x for x greater than 0.

This can seem quite tricky at first, so let's break it down into steps. If we draw a table of x values (for example 0, 1, 2, 3, 4), we can put each value into our equation and find a corresponding value of y. We can now plot the values of y for each value of x on our graph. This gives us an idea of what the graph will look like. As x gets bigger (and positive), the value of y gets smaller (and positive). We can see that it gets smaller and smaller, but never reaches zero.Now, dividing 1 by another number smaller than 1 results in a number bigger than 1 e.g. 1÷0.5 = 2. So as x gets smaller and smaller than 1, y will get bigger and bigger. This is exactly the same situation for x getting really big! We can now finish off our graph sketch.Just remember to write out those points, and think about what happens between them. This method of sketching works for any graph, and there's lots more to be explored if we have enough time!
