The Oscillation of a Function

Problem

For a function ff on [a,b][a, b], define its oscillation d(a,b)d(a, b) as the difference between its maximum and minimum there.

1. If f(x)=x2−2x+2f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 2, find d(1,2)d(1, 2). 2. If f(x)=x+mxf(x) = x + \dfrac{m}{x} and d(1,2)≠∣f(2)−f(1)∣d(1, 2) \ne |f(2) - f(1)|, find the range of mm.
