Answer:
Range: {-1, 0, 5/7, 4/5, 1, 2}
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
f(x) = (x + 1)/(2x - 1)
And:
f: A ⇒ B
where:
A={-1,0,1,2,3,4}
B= {-1,0,4/5,5/7,1,2,3,}
We want to find the range of f(x).
The range of f(x) will be the set of the outputs of f(x) (and because f goes from A to B, we will only take the outputs that belong to B).
Then we only need to evaluate all the values of A in f(x), and see if the output belongs to B.
we have:
f(x) = (x + 1)/(2x - 1)
f(-1) = (-1 + 1)/(2*-1 - 1) = 0 (this does belong to B)
f(0) = (0 + 1)/(2*0 - 1) = -1 (this does belong to B)
f(1) = (1 + 1)/(2*1 - 1) = 2 (this does belong to B)
f(2) = (2 + 1)/(2*2 - 1) = 1 (this does belong to B)
f(3) = (3 + 1)/(2*3 - 1) = 4/5 (this does belong to B)
f(4) = (4 + 1)/(2*4 - 1) = 5/7 (this does belong to B)
So the range of f(x) is the set with all these outputs, which is:
Range: {-1, 0, 5/7, 4/5, 1, 2}
