A 12 kg12 \mathrm{~kg} sample of a certain alloy (mixture of metals) contains 2 kg2 \mathrm{~kg} of tin and 10 kg10 \mathrm{~kg} of copper. A chemist decides to study the properties of the alloy as its percentage of tin is varied. Suppose xx represents the quantity of tin, in kg\mathrm{kg} , the chemist adds to the sample. Let f(x)f(x) represent the fraction of the mixture's mass composed of tin--that is, the ratio of the tin's mass to the mixture's total mass. A negative value of xx represents a quantity of tin removed from the original 12 kg12 \mathrm{~kg} sample. What is the domain of ff ?
