For the function f(x) = 1/x, whose graph is shown below, what is the relative value of f(x) when the value of x is close to zero? a - either a very large positive or very large negative number  b. a very small positive number  c. only a very large positive number  d. only a very large negative number  e. either a very small positive or very small negative number

For this case we have the following function:
 F (x) = 1 / x
 We observe that the function is not defined when the denominator is equal to zero, or equivalently:
 x = 0
 The function tends to infinity when x takes positive values close to zero.
 The function tends to minus infinity when x takes negative values close to zero.
 
 A - Either a very large positive or very large negative number
