    Figure: Some simple functional behaviors

    Caption: A linear-scale plot of 4 simple function behaviors.

    The 4 functions:

    1. y = constant.
    2. y = Cx, where C is a constant. This is a straight line passing through the origin.
    3. y = C/x, where C is a constant. This is an inverse linear function.
    4. y = C/x2, where C is a constant. This is an inverse-square-law function.

    Note that the inverse linear function and inverse-square-law function have mathematical singularities at the origin. In this case, the mathematical singularities are infinities: i.e., as x → 0, y → ∞ .
