Find Range of y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=\frac{e^{x}-e^{-|x|}}{e^{x}+e^{|x|}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can u graph the function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this looks like hyperbolic tangent function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also, the local maxima nad minima can be found from the derivatives. then check for the absolute maxima and minima using limits.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ y=\frac{e^x-e^{-|x|}}{e^x+e^{-|x|}}=\frac{e^{x+|x|}-1}{e^{x+|x|}+1}\\ y=\cases{\frac{e^{2x}-1}{e^{2x}+1} \forall\;x\ge0\\ 0\qquad\quad\forall\;x<0} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we notice that the minima is y=0 and a horizontal asymptote at y=1 conclusion: \[\Large y\in[0,1]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@electrokid y lies in [0,1/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not 1/2 but "1"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is your range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am telling the ans.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the given ans.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh wait.. I took the function worong Correct the denominator and folow the same steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ y=\cases{\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2e^x}\;\forall\;x\ge0\\ 0\qquad\quad\forall x<0} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then it is pretty simple to get \[\Large y\in\left[1,{1\over2}\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ans is [0,1/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my typo..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 0<=y<1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@electrokid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should then click on the best answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have done like this but not getting the ans.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you do not need any of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we don't know calculus by now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so help me with my sol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no need of any calculus \[ y=\cases{\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2e^x}={1\over2}-{e^{-2x}\over 2}\;\forall\;x\ge0\\ 0\qquad\quad\forall x<0} \] from this, we know that y minimum = 0 then for x>=0, we notice that it is continuously increasing function \[y_0={1\over2}-{e^0\over2}=0\\ y_\infty={1\over2}-{e^{-\infty}\over2}={1\over2} \]
