Question Number 15093 by Tinkutara last updated on 07/Jun/17
The range of f(x) = (({x}^2  − {x} + 1)/({x}^2  + {x} + 1));  (where {∙} denotes fractional function)  is?
$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{range}\:\mathrm{of}\:{f}\left({x}\right)\:=\:\frac{\left\{{x}\right\}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:\left\{{x}\right\}\:+\:\mathrm{1}}{\left\{{x}\right\}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+\:\left\{{x}\right\}\:+\:\mathrm{1}}; \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{where}\:\left\{\centerdot\right\}\:\mathrm{denotes}\:\mathrm{fractional}\:\mathrm{function}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{is}? \\ $$

0.3    i believe  [x] is the greatest integer that  the value of x has crossed going  along the numberline in the   positive x direction.    {x} is the value that need be  added to [x] to make it reach x .

i have corrected. it is y∈((1/3),3)  you can check with x=−1.5:  {x}=−0.5  f(x)=(((−0.5)^2 −(−0.5)+1)/((−0.5)^2 +(−0.5)+1))=((1.75)/(0.75))=2.33>1

We have always  {x} = x − [x]  e.g. x ∈ Z (say 5), {5} = 5 − [5] = 0  x ∈ R^+  (say 4.8), {4.8} = 4.8 − [4.8]  = 4.8 − 4 = 0.8  x ∈ R^−  (say −3.78),  {−3.78} = −3.78 − [−3.78]  = −3.78 + 4 = 0.22  Hence {x} is always positive and  0 ≤ {x} < 1.  In this way {−0.5} = 0.5 and thus  f(−0.5) = (3/7)  (1/3) < f(−0.5) < 1

Wikipedia page on this has three  different definitions for fractional  part.  frac(x)=x−⌊x⌋  frac{x}= { ((x−⌊x⌋),(x≥0)),((x−⌈x⌉),(x<0)) :}  fract(x)=x−⌊∣x∣⌋  ⌊∙⌋=floor function  ⌈∙⌉=ceiling function  frac(−1.2) can take .8,−.2 or .2  depending upon the definition u use.  JEE exams will use {x}=x−⌊x⌋

Question done!  f(x) = 1 − ((2{x})/(({x} + (1/2))^2  + (3/4)))  Now assuming 0 ≤ {x} < 1,  we get 1 ≤ ({x} + (1/2))^2  + (3/4) < 3  ∴ When {x} = 0, f(x) = 1  And as {x} → 1, f(x) → 1 − (2/3) = (1/3)  ∴ f(x) is a decreasing function.  R_(f(x))  = ((1/3), 1]
