1. **Problem Statement:** Find the range of the function $$f(x) = \frac{2x+1}{x-1}$$.
2. **Recall:** The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (values of $f(x)$).
3. **Step 1: Identify domain restrictions.** The function is undefined where the denominator is zero, i.e., at $x=1$.
4. **Step 2: Express $y = f(x)$ and solve for $x$.**
$$y = \frac{2x+1}{x-1}$$
Multiply both sides by $(x-1)$:
$$y(x-1) = 2x + 1$$
$$yx - y = 2x + 1$$
5. **Step 3: Rearrange to isolate $x$.**
$$yx - 2x = y + 1$$
$$x(y - 2) = y + 1$$
$$x = \frac{y + 1}{y - 2}$$
6. **Step 4: Determine values of $y$ for which $x$ is undefined.**
The expression for $x$ is undefined when the denominator is zero:
$$y - 2 = 0 \implies y = 2$$
7. **Step 5: Conclusion:** The function $f(x)$ can take all real values except $y=2$.
**Therefore, the range of $f$ is $$\mathbb{R} - \{2\}$$.**
**Answer: (c) $$\mathbb{R} - \{2\}$$**
