Solution
Correct Answer:
[-1/2, 1/2]
- Method 1 (Algebraic): Let y=x2+1x⟹yx2−x+y=0.
- For x to be real, the discriminant D of this quadratic in x must be ≥0.
- D=(−1)2−4(y)(y)=1−4y2≥0.
- 4y2≤1⟹y2≤1/4⟹−1/2≤y≤1/2.
- Method 2 (Inequality): Use AM≥GM for x>0: x+1/x≥2⟹x+1/x1≤1/2.
- Result: Range is [−1/2,1/2].
