Range of (x+2)/|x+2|

Find the Range of the Function

Question:

The range of the function

\[ f(x)=\frac{x+2}{|x+2|}, \qquad x\ne-2 \]

is

(a) \(\{-1,1\}\)
(b) \(\{-1,0,1\}\)
(c) \(\{1\}\)
(d) \((0,\infty)\)

Solution:

If \(x+2>0\),

\[ \frac{x+2}{|x+2|}=1 \]

If \(x+2<0\),

\[ \frac{x+2}{|x+2|}=-1 \]

Therefore, possible values are

\[ \{-1,1\} \]

Hence, the range is

\[ \boxed{\{-1,1\}} \]

\[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer: (a)}} \]
