AMC 12 2006a Problem 18

  • Paper

The function ff has the property that for each real number xx in its domain, 1/x1/x is also in its domain and

f(x)+f(1x)=xf(x)+f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)=x

What is the largest set of real numbers that can be in the domain of ff?

(A) {x∣x≠0}(B) {x∣x<0}(C) {x∣x>0}(D) {x∣x≠−1  \mathrm{(A) \ } \{x|x\ne 0\} \mathrm{(B) \ } \{x|x<0\} \mathrm{(C) \ } \{x|x>0\} \mathrm{(D) \ } \{x|x\ne -1\; andx≠0  andx≠1}(E) {−1,1}\mathrm{and} x\ne 0\;\mathrm{and} x\ne 1\} \mathrm{(E) \ } \{-1,1\}
