Solution
### Solution:
#### Part (1): Domain and Range of f(x)
Given f(x)=1+x+1−x, we need to ensure the expressions under the square roots are non-negative for the function to be real-valued. Therefore, we have two inequalities:
1. 1+x⩾0⇒x⩾−1 2. 1−x⩾0⇒x⩽1
Combining these, we find the domain of f(x) is −1⩽x⩽1.
To find the range, we consider y=f(x)=1+x+1−x. Squaring both sides gives us:
y2=(1+x+1−x)2=2+21−x2
Since 0⩽1−x2⩽1, we have:
2⩽y2⩽4
Taking square roots and considering y⩾0, we get:
2⩽y⩽2
Therefore, the domain of f(x) is [−1,1] and the range is [2,2].
#### Part (2): Range of Real Number m
Given h(x)=21−x2+6f(x), we can express h(x) in terms of t=1+x+1−x, where t∈[2,2]. Then, 21−x2=t2−2, and we consider the function g(t)=t2+4t=t+t41.
By AM-GM inequality, t+t4⩾2t×t4=4, with equality when t=2. Thus, the maximum value of g(t), and hence h(x), is 41.
The inequality h(x)⩽43m2−21am transforms into 43m2−21am⩾41 for any a∈[−1,1]. This simplifies to:
3m2±am−1⩾0
Considering the cases for a=±1, we get two inequalities:
1. 3m2+m−1⩾0 2. 3m2−m−1⩾0
Solving these inequalities, we find:
1. m⩽−1 or m⩾31 2. m⩽−31 or m⩾1
Combining these results, we conclude that m⩽−1 or m⩾1. Therefore, the range of the real number m is (−∞,−1]∪[1,+∞).
