Question:

The range of the function $f(x)=\frac{1}{1-x^2}, x ≠±1$ is :

Options:

(-∞, 0] ∪ (1, ∞)

(-∞, 0] ∪ [1, ∞)

(-∞, 0) ∪ (1, ∞)

(-∞, 0) ∪ [1, ∞)

Correct Answer:

(-∞, 0) ∪ [1, ∞)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $(-∞, 0) ∪ [1, ∞)$

$f(x)=\frac{1}{1-x^2},y=\frac{1}{1-x^2}$

so $\frac{1}{y}=1-x^2$

$x^2=\frac{y-1}{y}$

$⇒x=\sqrt{\frac{y-1}{y}}$

$⇒y∈R-[0,1)$

$≡y∈(-∞, 0) ∪ [1, ∞)$
