Final answer:

The value of f(0) for the function f(x) = 1/2x is undefined because division by zero is not allowed in math. If the function is intended to be f(x) = (1/2)x instead, then f(0) would be 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to find the value of f(x) = 1/2x when f(0) is evaluated. Since the function is given directly as f(x) = 1/(2x), but needs to be evaluated at x = 0, we immediately run into an issue. The function f(x) would result in a division by zero scenario, which is undefined in mathematics. However, if we assume that f(x) is instead meant to be f(x) = 1/2 × x, then f(0) = 0 because any number multiplied by zero is zero.

Therefore, the answer is c. 0.
