range of f(x)= 1/(x^2+2x-3)

range

f (x) = \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2 x - 3}

f (x) \leq - \frac{1}{4} or f (x) > 0

Interval Notation

(- \infty, - \frac{1}{4}] \cup (0, \infty)

Solution steps

Rewrite as

\frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2 x - 3} = y

Multiply both sides by

x^{2} + 2 x - 3

1 = y (x^{2} + 2 x - 3)

The range is the set of y for which the discriminant is greater or equal to zero

Discriminant

1 = y (x^{2} + 2 x - 3) : 16 y^{2} + 4 y

16 y^{2} + 4 y \geq 0 : y \leq - \frac{1}{4} or y \geq 0

Check if the range interval endpoints are included

y = - \frac{1}{4} :

Included

y = 0 :

Excluded

Therefore the range is

f (x) \leq - \frac{1}{4} or f (x) > 0

(- 3, 1), (2, - 4)

- π

f (x) = 2 - x + 4

f (x) = ln (x + 1)

f (x) = (x - 6)^{3}

What is the range of f(x)= 1/(x^2+2x-3) ?
The range of f(x)= 1/(x^2+2x-3) is f(x)<=-1/4 \lor f(x)>0
