  1. Determine Continuity: We need to determine the continuity of the functions g(x)=ln(x)g(x) = \ln(x) and f(x)=1xf(x) = \frac{1}{x} for all real numbers.
  2. Consider g(x)=ln(x)g(x) = \ln(x): Let's first consider g(x)=ln(x)g(x) = \ln(x). The natural logarithm function ln(x)\ln(x) is defined only for x > 0. Therefore, it is not defined for x0x \leq 0, which means it is not continuous for all real numbers.
  3. Consider f(x)=1xf(x) = \frac{1}{x}: Now let's consider f(x)=1xf(x) = \frac{1}{x}. The function 1x\frac{1}{x} is defined for all real numbers except x=0x = 0, where it has a vertical asymptote. Therefore, it is not continuous at x=0x = 0.
  4. Neither g nor f: Since neither g(x)=ln(x)g(x) = \ln(x) nor f(x)=1xf(x) = \frac{1}{x} is continuous for all real numbers, the correct answer is (D) Neither gg nor ff.
