Math Problem Statement

f(x)=x/x+4

Solution

The given function is:

f(x)=xx+4f(x) = \frac{x}{x} + 4

This can be simplified as follows:

  1. The expression xx\frac{x}{x} simplifies to 1 (for x0x \neq 0, as division by zero is undefined).

So, the function simplifies to:

f(x)=1+4=5f(x) = 1 + 4 = 5

Thus, the simplified form of the function is:

f(x)=5forx0f(x) = 5 \quad \text{for} \quad x \neq 0

However, for x=0x = 0, 00\frac{0}{0} is undefined, so the function is not defined at x=0x = 0.

Final Result:

f(x)=5forx0f(x) = 5 \quad \text{for} \quad x \neq 0
