It is a increasing function, Its range is #[0,oo)#

Explanation:

In the given interval #[0,pi/2]#, y, which is a product of two functions x and tan x, it would increase from 0 to #oo# because tan x increases from o to #oo# in this interval. This fact is corroborated by considering the behaviour of its first derivative.

Looking at the first derivative of y, y'= #x sec^2 x+tan x#, it is obvious that y' would always be positive in the given interval, which means that y would be a increasing function in that interval.
