Find the range of the parent function below.

y=1/x

A.
all real numbers
B.
all real numbers except 0
C.
all positive numbers
D.
all negative numbers

Respuesta :

(the Domain of the function is clearly all Real numbers - {0})

The Range is the set of all values that the function can take.

let c be any value in the range. So c=1/x for some x in the domain, 

and so x=1/c.

For example, is c=10 in the range of the function?
yes, for x=1/10, f(1/10)=1/(1/10)=10.

Consider again x=1/c, the only value of c that cannot be in the Range is c=0, because to produce 0 in the range, x would need to be 1/0, which is undefined.


Answer: 

B.
all real numbers except 0
