Find the range of each of the following functions.
(i) f(x) = 2 – 3x, x ∈ R, x > 0.
(ii) f(x) = x^2 + 2, x is a real number.
(iii) f(x) = x, x is a real number.

✴(i) Given,✴
➡️f(x) = 2 – 3x, x ∈ R, x > 0.
➡️We have,
➡️x > 0
➡️So,
➡️3x > 0
➡️-3x < 0 [Multiplying by -1 both the sides, the inequality sign changes]
➡️2 – 3x < 2
➡️Therefore, the value of 2 – 3x is less than 2.
➡️Hence, Range = (–∞, 2)
✴(ii) Given,✴
➡️f(x) = x2 + 2, x is a real number
➡️We know that,
➡️x2 ≥ 0
➡️So,
➡️x2 + 2 ≥ 2 [Adding 2 both the sides]
➡️Therefore, the value of x2 + 2 is always greater or equal to 2 for x is a real number.
➡️Hence, Range = [2, ∞)
✴(iii) Given,✴
➡️f(x) = x, x is a real number
➡️Clearly, the range of f is the set of all real numbers.
➡️Thus,
➡️Range of f = R
