The correct answer is: 0,12

Given:

fx=1x2+x-2

Here, fx is defined for

x2+x-2>0

Put x=t, then

t2+t-2>0

t-1t+2>0

t-,-21,

x-,-21,

x-,-2[2,)

Now,

x2

x2

x24

x2+x6

x2+x-24

1x2+x-214

1x2+x-212

Also, when x<-2, then

x2+x-2>0

So, 1x2+x-2>0

Hence, 0<1x2+x-212.

So, range of given function is (0,12].
