MCQ
Range of the function $f (x)=\sqrt{x^2+x+1}$ is equal to
  • A
    $[0, \infty]$
  • $\left[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \infty\right)$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
  • D
    (0,0)

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\left[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \infty\right)$
(B)
Here, $f (x)=\sqrt{x^2+x+1}$
$\Rightarrow y^2=x^2+x+1$
$\Rightarrow x^2+x+\left(1-y^2\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1+\pm{1-4\left(1-y^2\right)}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{4 y^2-3}}{2}$
For $x$ real, $4 y^2-3 \geq 0$
$\therefore y \geq \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\therefore R _{ f }=\left[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \infty\right)$
