If (f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}) is given by (f(x)=\frac{1}{|x|-2}), what should be the correct domain?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (\mathbb{R}-{-2,2})

The direct answer is A: the domain is R minus {-2,2}. A rational expression is defined only when its denominator is not zero. Here the denominator is |x|-2. Set it equal to zero: |x|-2=0, so |x|=2. The real solutions are x=2 and x=-2. These two inputs must be excluded, while every other real number is allowed. Hence the domain is R\{-2,2}. Option A is correct. Option B removes only 2 and forgets -2; at x=-2, the denominator is also zero. Option C removes 0, but x=0 gives denominator -2, which is perfectly valid. Option D includes only numbers less than 2, unnecessarily excluding many valid numbers such as 3 and -5, and it does not properly express the full domain. The common mistake is checking only |x|=2 as if x=2 were the sole answer; modulus always requires both signs.
