The domain of definition of $f(x)= sin^{-1}\sqrt{x-1},$ is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The domain of $sin^{-1}x $ is [-1,1]. So, the domain of $ f(x) = sin^{-1} \sqrt{x-1}$ is the set of values of x satisfying
$-1 ≤ \sqrt{x-1}≤ 1$
$⇒ 0 ≤ \sqrt{x-1} ≤1$ $[∵\sqrt{x-1} ≥0]$
$⇒ 0 ≤ x-1 ≤1 ⇒1 ≤x≤2⇒x ∈[1,2]$
Hence, the domain of $f(x) = sin^{-1}\sqrt{x-1}$ is [1,2].
