The range of the real valued function \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x-|x|}\) is

  1. A \((0, \infty)\)
  2. B \((-\infty, 0)\)
  3. C \((-\infty, 0) \cup(0, \infty)\)
  4. D \((-\infty, \infty)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((-\infty, 0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=\frac{1}{x-|x|}\) For \(x \geq 0, x-|x|=0 \Rightarrow {f}({x}) \rightarrow \infty\) \(\begin{array}{ll}\therefore & x < 0,|x|=-x \\ \Rightarrow & f(x)=\frac{1}{2 x} \\ \therefore & \text { Range } \in(-\infty, 0)\end{array}\)
