The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{e^x + 2e^{-x}} \) and evaluate the two statements given. ### Step 1: Analyze the Function The function is defined as: \[ f(x) = \frac{1}{e^x + 2e^{-x}} \] We need to determine the range of this function. ### Step 2: Find the Limits of \( f(x) \) First, let's find the limit of \( f(x) \) as \( x \) approaches positive and negative infinity. - As \( x \to +\infty \): \[ f(x) = \frac{1}{e^x + 2e^{-x}} \to \frac{1}{\infty} = 0 \] - As \( x \to -\infty \): \[ f(x) = \frac{1}{e^x + 2e^{-x}} \to \frac{1}{0 + 2 \cdot \infty} = 0 \] ### Step 3: Find Critical Points To find the maximum value of \( f(x) \), we can differentiate \( f(x) \) and find its critical points. Using the quotient rule: \[ f'(x) = \frac{(0)(e^x + 2e^{-x}) - (1)(e^x - 2e^{-x})}{(e^x + 2e^{-x})^2} \] Setting the numerator to zero for critical points: \[ e^x - 2e^{-x} = 0 \implies e^{2x} = 2 \implies x = \frac{1}{2} \ln(2) \] ### Step 4: Evaluate \( f(x) \) at Critical Points Now we evaluate \( f \) at the critical point: \[ f\left(\frac{1}{2} \ln(2)\right) = \frac{1}{e^{\frac{1}{2} \ln(2)} + 2e^{-\frac{1}{2} \ln(2)}} \] Calculating this gives: \[ f\left(\frac{1}{2} \ln(2)\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 5: Establish the Range of \( f(x) \) From the limits and the maximum value found: - \( f(x) \) approaches 0 as \( x \to \pm\infty \) - The maximum value is \( \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \) Thus, the range of \( f(x) \) is: \[ (0, \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}] \] ### Step 6: Evaluate the Statements 1. **Statement 1**: \( f(c) = \frac{1}{3} \) for some \( c \in \mathbb{R} \). - Since \( \frac{1}{3} < \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \) and \( f(x) \) is continuous, by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there exists some \( c \) such that \( f(c) = \frac{1}{3} \). Thus, Statement 1 is **true**. 2. **Statement 2**: \( 0 < f(x) \leq \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \) for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). - We have established that \( f(x) \) is always positive and reaches a maximum of \( \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \). Thus, Statement 2 is also **true**. ### Conclusion Both statements are true, and Statement 2 provides a correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the correct option is: **(4) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is the correct explanation for Statement-1.**
