Step-by-step explanation:
The question wants us to determine the range of the given function

The graph below also helps us in answering this question
The range of a function is defined as
![\mathrm{The\: set\: of\: values\: of\: the\: dependent\: variable\: for\: which\: a\: function\: is\: defined}]()
The solution to the function is given by

Therefore, the range is all real numbers except y = 2
