So f (x) = (1/3) t, t = x 2-2x.
The function f (x) = (1/3) t is a subtraction function.
So when the function t = x 2-2x is in the monotonic increasing interval [1, positive infinity],
The function f (x) = (1/3) (x 2-2x) is a subtraction function.
Because monotonicity is decreasing and increasing, increasing and increasing, decreasing and decreasing, increasing and decreasing.
That is, when x is in the interval [1, positive infinity], the function f (x) = (1/3) (x 2-2x) is a decreasing function.
Similarly, when the function t = x 2-2x is in the monotonically decreasing interval (-infinity, 1),
The function f (x) = (1/3) (x 2-2x) is increasing function.
2, t = x 2-2x can be calculated as: t >;; =- 1.
Because t = x 2-2x,
t=(x- 1)^2- 1.
(x- 1)^2>; =0
So t & gt=- 1.
According to the monotonicity of the function f (x) = (1/3) t,
It is known that the function f (x) = (1/3) t monotonically decreases on [- 1,+infinity].
So f (x) < = f (-1) = (1/3) (-1) = 3.
So the range is (-infinity, 3).
