Question

Consider the following two functions:

  1. def f1(x):
  2.     if (x > 0):
  3.         x = 3*x
  4.         x = x / 2
  5.     return x
  6.  
  7. def f2(x):
  8.     if (x > 0):
  9.         x = 3*x
  10.     x = x / 2
  11.     return x
For what values of x will f1 and f2 return the same value?
  1. For x< 3/2
  2. When x is zero or positive
  3. Any value of x
  4. For negative values of x only
Expert Solution
Step 1
