[AMU 1999]

Options:

A) $ ( \frac{1}{4},\ \frac{1}{3} ) $

B) [?1, 0]

C) [0, 1]

D) [?1, 1]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Clearly $ -1\le \frac{1}{1+e^{x}}\le 1 $ But $ 2<e^{x}<3 $
Þ $ 3<(e^{x}+1)<4 $ Þ $ \frac{1}{4}<\frac{1}{1+e^{x}}<\frac{1}{3} $ \Domain of $ f(x)=( \frac{1}{4},,\frac{1}{3} ) $ .
