For the function \(f(x)=\left[\frac{1}{[x]}\right]\) where \([x]\). the greatest integer less than denotes the greater the following statemen equal to \(x\), which of the are true?

  1. A The domain is \((-\infty, \infty)\)
  2. B The range is \{0\}\(\cup(-1\} \cup\{1\}\)
  3. C The domain is \((-\infty, 0) \cup[1, \infty)\)
  4. D The range is \{0\}\(\cup\{1\}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The domain is \((-\infty, 0) \cup[1, \infty)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(f(x)=\left[\frac{1}{|x|}\right]\) Domain \(=R-\{f(x)=0\}\) Now, \(f(x)\) will be zero, when \(|x|=0\). \(\Rightarrow \quad x \in[0,1)\) \(\therefore\) Domain of \(f(x)=R-(0,1]\) and range of \(f(x)=\{-1,0,1\}\)
