Question 1037101: I've been given the following question and I'm completely lost:
f is a function that takes a real number x and performs these three steps in the order given:
(1) Take the absolute value.
(2) Subtract 4 from the result.
(3) Take the reciprocal of the result.
(That is, make the quantity the denominator of a fraction with numerator 1.)
(a) Find an expression for f (x). (no explanation required)
(b) State the domain of f. (no explanation required)
please help Answer by ikleyn(52787) (Show Source):
f is a function that takes a real number x and performs these three steps in the order given:
(1) Take the absolute value. Abs. value of x is |x|.
(2) Subtract 4 from the result. |x|-4
(3) Take the reciprocal of the result. f(x) = .
(That is, make the quantity the denominator of a fraction with numerator 1.)
(a) Find an expression for f (x). (no explanation required) f(x) = .
(b) State the domain of f. (no explanation required) The domain is the set of all real numbers except of -4 and 4
( dividing by zero is prohibited ).
