The range of the function $\mathrm{f}(x)=\frac{x^2}{x^2+1}$ is

The range of the function $\mathrm{f}(x)=\frac{x^2}{x^2+1}$ is
  1. $(0,1)$
  2. $[0,1)$
  3. $(0,1]$
  4. $[0,1]$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Let } y=\frac{x^2}{x^2+1} \\ & \Rightarrow y x^2+y=x^2 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2(y-1)+y=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2=\frac{y}{1-y} \end{aligned}$ For $x$ to be real, $\begin{aligned} & y(1-y) \geq 0 \text { and } 1-y \neq 0 \\ & \Rightarrow y(y-1) \leq 0 \text { and } y \neq 1 \\ & \Rightarrow 0 \leq y < 1 \end{aligned}$
