There is a better approch to solve such problems.
convert the above equation into a quadratic equation in which cofficient of the equation are in term of y i.e f(x).
y=x^2+x+2/x^2+x+1
y(x^2+x+1)=x^2+x+2
x^2(y-1)+x(y-1)+y-2
Since x belongs to real numbers.
then D>=0
(y-1)^2-4(y-1)(y-2)
-3y^2+10y-7>=0
3y^2-10y+7
(3y-7)(y-1)
so 1
Now verify then end point 
You will see the that original equation will never have f(x)=1
Verification
1=x^2+x+2/x^2+x+1
x^2+x+1 != x^2+x+2
So our Range is 1
Hope it helps :-)
