Range of the function f(x)=x2+x+2x2+x+1, x∈R is [2003]
(1,∞)
(1,11/7]
(1,7/3]
(1,7/5]

f(x)=x2+x+2x2+x+1=(x2+x+1)+1x2+x+1
=1+1(x+12)2+34
We can see here that as x→∞, f(x)→1 which is the minimum value of f(x), i.e. fmin=1.
Also f(x) is maximum when (x+12)2+34 is minimum, which is so when x=-12.
∴ fmax=1+134=73, ∴ Rf=(1,73]
Let the function f:[0,1]→ℝ be defined by f(x)=4x4x+2. Then the value of f(140)+f(240)+f(340)+⋯+f(3940)-f(12) is _______ . [2020]
(19)
Since, f(x)+f(1-x)=4x4x+2+41-x41-x+2
=4x4x+2+4/4x4/4x+2=4x4x+2+22+4x=1
∴ f(140)+f(240)+⋯+f(3940)-f(12)
=[f(140)+f(3940)]+[f(240)+f(3840)]+⋯+f(2040)-f(12)
=(1+1+⋯19 times)+f(12)-f(12)=19
