If the function ƒ : R – {1, –1} A defined by ƒ(x) = , is surjective, then A is equal to
- AR – (–1, 0)
- BR – {–1}
- CR – [–1, 0)
- D[0, )

Correct answer: C
- We need the range of
Since the function is surjective onto , we must have
- Let
We solve for in terms of :
Now, since , we need
- Solve the inequality
Critical points are and .
Checking intervals:
- For : numerator , denominator , so ratio .
- For : numerator , denominator , so ratio .
- For : ratio .
Hence possible values are
- Check endpoints:
- is impossible since denominator .
- is possible: gives .
So the range is
This can be written as
- Compare with options:
- A: includes , wrong.
- B: includes values in , wrong.
- C: , correct.
- D: misses values less than , wrong.
Therefore,
