Question
Define the real valued function f : R – {0} $\rightarrow$ R defined by $\begin{equation} f(x)=\frac{1}{x} \end{equation}$, x $\in$R – {0}. Complete the Table given below using this definition. What is the domain and range of this function?
x –2 –1.5 –1 –0.5 0.25 0.5 1 1.5 2
$\begin{equation} y=\frac{1}{x} \end{equation}$ ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Answer

The completed table is given by:

x –2 –1.5 –1 –0.5 0.25 0.5 1 1.5 2
$\begin{equation} y=\frac{1}{x} \end{equation}$ – 0.5 – 0.67 –1 – 2 4 2 1 0.67 0.5

The domain is all real numbers except zero and its range is also all real numbers except zero. The graph of f is given in figure shown below:
