Mathematics Question on Relations and functions

Let f=(x,x21+x2):xRf={(x,\frac {x^2}{1+x^2}):x∈R} be a function from R into R. Determine the range of f.

Answer

f=(x,x21+x2):xRf={(x,\frac {x^2}{1+x^2}):x∈R}

= (0,0),(±0.5,15),(±1,12),(±1.5,913),(±2,45),(3,910),(4,1617),......{(0,0),(±0.5,\frac 15),(±1,\frac 12),(±1.5,\frac {9}{13}),(±2,\frac {4}{5}),(3,\frac {9}{10}),(4,\frac{16}{17}), ......}

The range of f is the set of all second elements. It can be observed that all these elements are greater than or equal to 0 but less than 1.
[Denominator is greater numerator]
Thus, range of f= [0, 1]
