Answer:

The domain is x∈(−∞,−1)∪(−1,1)∪(1,∞).

The range is y∈R .

Explanation:

As you cannot divide by

0 , the denominator is ≠0

Therefore,

x2−1≠0

⇒ , (x−1)(x+1)≠0

So, x≠1 and x≠−1

The domain is

x∈(−∞,−1)∪(−1,1)∪(1,∞)

To calculate the range, let

y=3xx2−1

⇒ , y(x2−1)=3x

⇒ , yx2-y=3x

⇒ . yx2−3x−y=0

This ia a quadratic equation in x

and in order to have solutions, the discriminant must be ≥0

Therefore,

Δ=(−3)2−4(y)(−y)≥0

9+4y2≥0

So,

∀y∈R , 9+4y2≥0

The range is

y∈R
