Document Summary

Practice problem: find the domain of the function. Solution: the function g(x) simply takes the value x and turns it into its reciprocal value. Thus, for instance, the number 5 becomes and becomes 2. Note that any value of x works in this function as long as is defined. As mentioned, fractions work as well as whole numbers, both for positive and negative values; the only value that does not work is. 0, since is undefined (how many times can 0 go into 1?). Thus, the domain of the function is all x in where x 0. Let"s look at the graph of the function also. As you can see in the graph, the function g to the left of zero goes down toward negative infinity, but the right side goes toward positive infinity, and there is no crossing of the function at zero.
