    If\[x\]is real, then\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}-2x+4}{{{x}^{2}}+2x+4}\]takes values in the interval:

    A) \[[1/3,\,\,3]\]                   

    B) \[(1/3,\,\,3)\]

    C)  \[(3,\,\,3)\]                       

    D)  \[(-1/3,\,\,3)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let          \[y=\frac{{{x}^{2}}-2x+4}{{{x}^{2}}+2x+4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}(y-1)+x(2y+2)+4y-4=0\] Since, \[x\] is real therefore its discriminant                 \[{{b}^{2}}-4ac\ge 0\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{(2y+2)}^{2}}-4(y-1)4(y-1)\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[4{{y}^{2}}+8y+4-16{{y}^{2}}-16+32y\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-12{{y}^{2}}+40y-12\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3{{y}^{2}}-10y+3\le 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(3y-1)(y-3)\le 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{3}y\le 3\]
