Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the function
The given function is y = 9/x². This represents a rational function where the numerator is a constant and the denominator is x².
Step 2: Determine the graph
The graph of this function will have vertical asymptotes where the denominator is zero, which occurs at x = 0. Since the numerator is positive and the denominator is always positive (except at x=0), the graph will exist entirely above the x-axis. The correct graph is C.
Step 3: Find the domain
The domain of the function is all real numbers except where the denominator is equal to zero. In this case, x² is equal to zero only when x = 0. Therefore, the domain is all real numbers except x = 0.
Final Answer
The graph is C, and the domain is (-∞, 0) U (0, ∞).
