Let f(x) = 1/√(16 - x2 )
Clearly, f(x) is defined only when 16 - x2 ≠ 0
Now, 16 - x2 ≠ 0
=> x2 - 16 ≠ 0
=> (x - 4)*(x + 4) ≠ 0
=> x ≠ -4, 4
So, domain of f(x) = R - {-4, 4}
Again let y = 1/√(16 - x2 )
squaring on both side, we get
y2 = 1/(16 - x2 )
=> 16 - x2 = 1/y2
=> 16 - 1/y2 = x2
=> x = ± √(16 - 1/y2 )
Clearly, x is defined, when y ≠ 0
So, range of f(x) = R - {0}
