it is -infinity to infinity

nooo the ans. is [ (2n+1)pie) ] union [2npie , 2npie - pie /3 ]
where n belongs to integer.....

the range of secx is R-{-1,1}.but sin inverse x is defined for -1 to 1.so domain is null.

yup.........it is a null set i.e da function does nt exists as da value of  [sec x ] never lies b/w [-1 , 1]


 


& sin inverse x is defined only fr x = [-1 ,1]


EDIT-lozzzz ......made a mistake secx =-1 so dat  [sec x ] =[-1,1]


so domain aint null

the domain of sin -1 x is [-1,1]

sec x lies between [-infinity,-1] union [1,infinity]


sec x is equal to -1 at (2n+1)  ,so [sec x]=-1 at this value

[sec x] =1 means sec x lies between [1,2)


that happens  when x lies between [0, /3) ,general eq. is [2n ,2n +-  /3)


so the final answer is (2n+1)  union [2n ,2n +-  /3)

the inverse exists only if


[secx] = -1 & +1


so


secx belongs to [-1,0) U [1,2)


in [-1,0) only {-1} is possibl--------so x= (2n+1)pi


in [1,2)-----x takes values from [2n pi , 2n pi +- sec inverse2)


            --------------[2n pi , 2n pi +- pi/3)


finally take the union....


hey y r u guyz missing the +- .........sec follows cos .......nd so wen u take gen solution u'll have( 2npi +-  alpha)


Hope that Helps!

but @ vasant , rohit
the secx is [1,2) not only in 0 to pie/3 it is also in -pie/3 to 0
so general solution can be ( 2npie - pie/3 , 2npie + pie/3)..
that is where my ans is not matching....

hi @akshaykhare




 


i have also got the same answer..........i used +- jus to make the sign omitters kno their mistakes.......




 


i stated [2n pi , 2npi + - pi/3)




 


unstead of my +- u've used the conventional method-------( 2n pi - pi/3, 2npi + pi/3)--------




 


we've got the same answer!

sec never lies between -1 to +1 ...
that is not sec inverse that is sin inverse..

wll u hav 2 find domain of sininverse na sin ^-1[sec] sec= R-(2pie+1)pie/2 nd sin^-1 =[-1,1] .......................

 in but there is not a common interval................!

 so it is null...........

domain=

 not defined
