Practicing Success
Range of $f(x)=\sin^{-1}\left[x^2+\frac{1}{2}\right]+\cos^{-1}\left[x^2-\frac{1}{2}\right]$ where [.] denotes the greatest integer function, is |
$\left(\frac{π}{2},π\right)$ $\{π\}$ $\{\frac{π}{2}\}$ none of these |
$\{π\}$ |
$-1≤\left[x^2+\frac{1}{2}\right]≤1$, $-1≤\left[x^2-\frac{1}{2}\right]≤1$ $-1≤\left(x^2+\frac{1}{2}\right)<2$, $-1≤\left(x^2-\frac{1}{2}\right)<2$ $\frac{-3}{2}≤x^2<\frac{3}{2}$, $\frac{-1}{2}≤x^2<\frac{5}{2}$ $⇒0≤x^2<\frac{3}{2}$, $⇒0≤x^2<\frac{5}{2}$ taking intersection $x^2∈[0,\frac{3}{2})$ as $x^2∈[0,\frac{1}{2})$ $f(x)=\sin^{-1}(0)+\cos^{-1}(-1)=π$ as $x^2∈\left[\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}\right)$ $f(x)=\cos^{-1}(0)+\sin^{-1}(1)=π$ so $f(x)∈\{π\}$ |
