The correct Answer is:
To find the domain of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \), we need to determine the values of \( x \) for which the function is defined. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the function**: The given function is \( f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \). 2. **Determine where the function is undefined**: The function \( f(x) \) is undefined when the denominator is zero. Therefore, we need to find when \( x = 0 \). 3. **Set up the condition**: We set the denominator equal to zero to find the problematic value: \[ x = 0 \] 4. **Exclude the problematic value**: Since the function is undefined at \( x = 0 \), we must exclude this value from the domain. 5. **Express the domain**: The domain of the function can be expressed in interval notation as: \[ (-\infty, 0) \cup (0, +\infty) \] This means that \( x \) can take any real number except for zero. ### Final Answer: The domain of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \) is \( (-\infty, 0) \cup (0, +\infty) \). ---
