The correct answer is:
$(-1,1)$
$f(x)=\frac{x}{1+|x|}, x \in R$
If $x>0,|x|=x \Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x}$ which is not defined for $x=-1$
If $x < 0,|x|=-x \Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{x}{1-x}$ which is not defined for $x=1$ Thus $f(x)$ defined for all values of $\mathrm{R}$ except 1 and $-1$
Hence, range $=(-1,1)$.
