Common Functions

To sketch a graph, look at whether it is exponential, reciprocal or some other type of graph. Then plot some x and y co-ordinates and join them up in the right shape.

Exponential

Exponential

  • Exponential functions are of the form y = kx or y = k-x.
  • They are completely above the x axis and go through the point (0, 1).
  • If k > 1 and the power is positive then the graph starts in the bottom left and then has a steep gradient up to the top right.
Reciprocal

Reciprocal

  • Reciprocal graphs never cross the x or y axis. They are only in 2 parts (quadrants) of the graph.
  • They are usually y = ax or xy = a.
