Reciprocal Function
This is the Reciprocal Function:

f(x) = 1/x
This is its graph:

f(x) = 1/x
It is a Hyperbola. It is an odd function.

Its Domain is the Real Numbers, except 0, because 1/0 is undefined. Using set-builder notation: Its Domain is

{x {x

| x 0} | x 0}

Its Range is also

As an Exponent
The Reciprocal Function can also be written as an exponent:

f(x) = x-1
