- A.$$\left(\frac{5}{37}, \frac{2}{5}\right]-\left\{\frac{9}{29}, \frac{27}{109}, \frac{18}{89}, \frac{9}{53}\right\}$$
- B.$$\left(\frac{5}{37}, \frac{2}{5}\right]$$correct
- C.$$\left(\frac{5}{26}, \frac{2}{5}\right]$$
- D.$$\left(\frac{5}{26}, \frac{2}{5}\right]-\left\{\frac{9}{29}, \frac{27}{109}, \frac{18}{89}, \frac{9}{53}\right\}$$
Answer
B. $$\left(\frac{5}{37}, \frac{2}{5}\right]$$
Explanation
$f(x)=\frac{k}{1+x^{2}}$ is a decreasing function where $k>0$ $$ \begin{gathered} \therefore \quad x \in[2,3) \Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{2}{1+x^{2}} \in\left(\frac{2}{10}, \frac{2}{5}\right]=R_{1} \\\\ x \in[3,4) \Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{3}{1+x^{2}} \in\left(\frac{3}{17}, \frac{3}{10}\right]=R_{2} \\\\ x \in[4,5) \Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{4}{1+x^{2}} \in\left(\frac{4}{26}, \frac{4}{17}\right]=R_{3} \\\\ x \in[5,6) \Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{5}{1+x^{2}} \in\left(\frac{5}{37}, \frac{5}{26}\right]=R_{4} \\\\ \text { Range }=R_{1} \cup R_{2} \cup R_{3} \cup R_{4} \\\\ =\left(\frac{5}{37}, \frac{2}{5}\right] \end{gathered} $$
