Math Problem Statement

F(x)=×-1/x

Solution

It looks like you've written a function, but there seems to be a small typo or formatting issue. Based on what you've provided, I'm assuming the function is meant to be:

F(x)=x1xF(x) = \frac{x - 1}{x}

Is this correct? If so, here's a breakdown:

Simplifying the Function

The function can be simplified by dividing both terms in the numerator by the denominator xx:

F(x)=x1x=xx1x=11xF(x) = \frac{x - 1}{x} = \frac{x}{x} - \frac{1}{x} = 1 - \frac{1}{x}

So, the simplified form of the function is:

F(x)=11xF(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x}

Domain of the Function

The function is defined for all real numbers except x=0x = 0, because division by zero is undefined.

Asymptotes

  • Vertical Asymptote: The function has a vertical asymptote at x=0x = 0.
  • Horizontal Asymptote: As xx approaches infinity, F(x)F(x) approaches 1. So, y=1y = 1 is a horizontal asymptote.

Would you like more details or have any other questions? Here are some related questions you might explore:

  1. What is the derivative of F(x)=11xF(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x}?
  2. How do you find the inverse of the function F(x)=11xF(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x}?
  3. What is the graph of F(x)=11xF(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x} like?
  4. How do you find the critical points of F(x)F(x)?
  5. What are the intercepts of the function F(x)=11xF(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x}?

Tip: Understanding asymptotes and intercepts can help you sketch the graph of a function more accurately.
