03-03-09 Explain what is happening?

I gave a graph of the day
y=\frac{x^{2}+x+1}{x^{2}-x+1}

When i was seeing the solution by users, I noticed something very interesting!

you have to explain something very interesting that is going on in this graph... the graph has been solved already on the GOD of 10-03-09

Not something extraordinary.. but a very small thing that helps you to analyse the whole thing beautifully.

no palani..

it is not..

that you have jumped to conclude because.. maxima is 3 and minima s 1/3

so you should have said 1/9th.. not 1/3 times..

but even that is not a correct conclusion

The thing i wanted to hear was..

f(x) = 1/f(-x)

so what is happening here is that at -ve values of x, function is inverse at positivie values

so the behaviour of the graph on the -ve x axis can be found easily by just plotting the graph on the +ve x axis!

some one reply please

bhaiya watz tat?[7]

is the GOD same as this one

i think that is y=(x+1)2/(x-1)2

about this graph when x is real y belongs to (1/3,3)

x-->-∞
y-->1-

x--->∞

y-->1+

is it ?

palani has already said that

@philip

that is correct..

something more than that?

A very very simple thing... !!

for f(-x) > 1 ; f(x) < 1
for f(-x) < 1 ; f(x) >1

im almost sure u're not looking for this [4] bcoz it is too obvious

n this graph wen
x<0
the eqn is is inverted
i.e
numerator becomes denomi
& vice versa

palani ............... ·

i feel the graph
is 1/3 times on one side

62
Lokesh Verma ·

But how does it help analyse the whole thing beautifully?

62
Lokesh Verma ·

@prjith.. no i was not looking at that :D

There is something unique here.. which palani already pointed out..

see carefully...

f(x)f(-x) = 1

hehe........thnx bhaiyya..

Lokesh Verma ·

@akand.. yes you are right.. but that is true for all "Good" functions..

I mean most functions that we see other than [x] kind!

MATRIX ·

the graph is not defined at x=0 and x=1....[1][1][1]..ami rite bhaiyya.......

62
Lokesh Verma ·

@philip..

see carefully

for symmetry at (a,b) if (x,y) is a solution then (a-x,b-y) has also to be a solution..

Philip Calvert ·

what i saw was that
it was symmetric about the point (0,1)


dont see this

ther is no sharp maxima or minima????
