Find the range of each of the following functions :
(i) f(x) = n (sin –1 x)
(ii) f(x) = sin –1 
(iii)f(x) = cos –1 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsCHECK THE SOLUTION.
(i) (– ∞ , n π /2]
(ii) (0, π /2]
(iii) [0, π ]
Sol. (i) f(x) = n (sin–1x)
Domain sin–1 x > 0 x ∈ (0, 1]
Range 0 < sin–1 x ≤
⇒ – ∞ < n (sin–1x) ≤ n 
Inequality doesn't change as n is increasing function
(ii)f(x) = sin–1 
it is obvious
is + ve ∀ x ∈ R
for function to be defined
≤ 1 ⇒
≤ 5x2 + 1 5x2 + 1 > 0 ∀ x ∈ R
squaring both side3x2 + 1 ≤ 25x4 + 10x2 + 1 ⇒ 25x4 + 7x2 ≥ 0
hold for all ∀ x ∈ R. So
≤ 1 ∀ x ∈ R at x → ∞
→ 0
So 0 <
≤ 1 ⇒ 0 < sin–1
≤ π /2
(iii)f(x) = cos–1 

form graph
, it is clearly visible
that function
attain all values b/w [–1, 1]
So Range of cos-1
∈ [0, π ]
