Select the field of application of the following fraction:
Select the field of application of the following fraction:
Let's examine the given expression:
As we know, the only restriction that applies to division operation is division by 0, since no number can be divided into 0 parts, therefore, division by 0 is undefined.
Therefore, when we talk about a fraction, where the dividend (the number being divided) is in the numerator, and the divisor (the number we divide by) is in the denominator, the restriction applies only to the denominator, which must be different from 0,
However in the given expression:
the denominator is 16 and:
Therefore the fraction is well defined and thus the unknown, which is in the numerator, can take any value,
Meaning - the domain (definition range) of the given expression is:
all x
(This means that we can substitute any number for the unknown x and the expression will remain well defined),
Therefore the correct answer is answer B.
