Question

Which of the following is a key property of the reciprocal parent function? A.) It is not a function B.) It is in quadrants I and III. C.) I goes through the origin D.) It is a parabola

Answer 1

The key property of a reciprocal parent function is:Option: B

B.) It is in quadrants I and III.

Explanation:

The reciprocal function is a function that sends every real number to it's reciprocal i.e. multiplicative inverse.

The range and domain of the reciprocal function are all the real number except zero.

Because the inverse of zero is not defined.

i.e. the mapping that holds is :

x → 1/x

The graph of the reciprocal function is a curve in the first and a third quadrant.

Answer 2

"It is in quadrants I and III" is the one among the following choices given in the question that is a key property of the reciprocal parent function. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope the answer has helped you.
