The domain of the function f (x)= ^ 7-x P _ x-1
Options
- AR
- Bx R - 1
- C1,2,3,4
- D1,2,3,4,5,6
Correct answer
C. 1,2,3,4
Step-by-step solution
The domain of f(x) = ^ 7-x P _ x-1 requires that both 7-x and x-1 be non-negative integers with 7-x x-1 . Since 7-x 0 implies x 7 and x-1 0 gives x 1 , we also require 7-x x-1 , which simplifies to x 4 . The integer solutions satisfying 1 x 4 are verified to yield valid permutations. Verification confirms x = 1, 2, 3, 4 produce defined values: ⁶ P ₀ = 1 , ⁵ P ₁ = 5 , ⁴ P ₂ = 12 , and ³ P ₃ = 6 , respectively. The domain is 1,2,3,4 .
