Some facts#

  • The homographic function is a function that can be presented in the below form:
    y=ax+bcx+dy=\frac{a \cdot x+b}{c \cdot x+d}
    where:
    • yy - function value (the function value at single point x, often marked as f(x)),
    • xx - function argument (called also independent value),
    • a, b, c, d - homographic function coefficients (parameters defining concrete homographic function, c ≠ 0).
  • The graph of the homographic function is hyperbola. To determine monotonicity of the homographic function, we can calculate its discriminant:
    D=adbcD=a \cdot d-b \cdot c
    Then, depending on the value of the discriminant, the following scenarios are possible:
    • the discriminant is negative (D < 0) - the function is decreasing,
    • the discriminant is positive (D > 0) - the function is increasing,
    • the discriminant is equal to zero (D = 0) - the function is reduced to the constant function.
  • In the general case, the homographic function has two asymptotes:
    • horizontal asymptote given by the equation:
      y=acy=\frac{a}{c}
    • and vertical asymptote:
      x=dcx=\frac{-d}{c}
  • A homogeneous function can have exactly one zero point or has no zeros at all. It depends on the coefficient b:
    • if the coefficient b is different from zero (b ≠ 0) - the homographic function has exactly one zero point, its graph intersects OX axis at the point:
      x=bax=\frac{-b}{a}
    • if the coefficient b equals zero (b = 0) - the homographic function has no zeros, its graph does not cross the OX axis.
  • A special case of the homographic function is the function b/x (often called a/x, in this case formal parameter b is renamed to a):
    y=bxy=\frac{b}{x}
    The b/x function has no zeros, and its symmetry point is origin of the coordinate system (point (0,0)).
