Reciprocal Transformation
One important concept in the study of polynomials is the reciprocal transformation. What happens when we take the reciprocal transformation of a function, or one over the function? Specifically, there are ways to create the graph of the reciprocal transformation of a function from the graph of the function itself. The reciprocal transformation is important in the definition of rational functions.
