Final answer:

The function f(x) = 1/x is not defined when x = 0. Therefore, the function f(x)=1/x is not defined when x=0. Division by zero is undefined in mathematics, so the function is undefined at x=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) = 1/x is not defined for values of x that make the denominator, which is x, equal to zero. When x = 0, the denominator becomes zero, and division by zero is undefined in mathematics.

So, for the given function, it is not defined when x = 0. In other words, the function f(x) = 1/x is defined for all real numbers except x = 0.
