A reciprocal function is the one which produces the multiplicative inverse for a given input value. It is represented
by f(x) = 1/x.

Let us plot the function

x	-2	-1	0	1	2	3	4
f(x)=1/x	-0.5	-1	-	1.000	0.500	0.333	0.250

The reciprocal function can be extended to the function by multiplying the basic function with a constant f(x) = a/x.

Let us plot the function and observe the changes with change in the parameter 'a'.

X	-3	-2	-1	0	1	2	3
f(x)= 2/x	-0.667	-1	-2	-	2	1	0.667
g(x)=5/x	-1.667	-2.5	-5	-	5	2.5	1.667
h(x)=6/x	-2	-3	-6	-	6	3	2

As we observe in the graph above, we can say that as the value of "a" increases, the plot moves away from the
origin.
