(x²-1) y = 1

Draw the graph of the function defined as

y = x² when x < 0 ........ ......(1)
y = x when 0 £ x < 1 ........  (2)
y = 1/x when x > 1 ............ (3)

i) The point is restricted to move in the IInd Quad. along the curve whose equation is y = x2

ii) Then in the Ist Quad. it moves along the bit of the straight line y = x.

iii) Lastly in the Ist Quad. it takes a turn and began to move along the curve y = 1/x.
