If x ∈ R then determine the range of the expression x 2 + x + 1 x 2 - x + 1 .

Let y = x 2 + x + 1 x 2 - x + 1 ⇒ y x 2 - y x + y = x 2 + x + 1 ⇒ x 2 y - 1 + x ( - y - 1 ) + y - 1 = 0 On comparing with a x 2 + b x + c = 0 , we have: a = y - 1 ; b = - y - 1 ; c = y - 1 As x ∈ R , we have Discriminant, D ≥ 0 i.e., b 2 - 4 a c ≥ 0 ⇒ ( - y - 1 ) 2 - 4 ( y - 1 ) ( y - 1 ) ≥ 0 ⇒ y 2 + 2 y + 1 - 4 y 2 - 2 y + 1 ≥ 0 ⇒ - 3 y 2 + 10 y - 3 ≥ 0 ⇒ 3 y 2 - 10 y + 3 ≤ 0 ⇒ 3 y 2 - 9 y - y + 3 ≤ 0 ⇒ 3 y ( y - 3 ) - 1 ( y - 3 ) ≤ 0 ⇒ ( 3 y - 1 ) ( y - 3 ) ≤ 0 ⇒ 1 3 ≤ y ≤ 3 Thus, the range is y ∈ 1 3 , 3 .
