Question:

Domain of $\cos^{−1}[2x^2 − 3]$ where [.] denotes greatest integer function, is

Options:

$\left[1,\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}\right]$

$\left[-\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}},-1\right]$

$\left(-\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}},-1\right]∪\left[1,\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}\right)$

none of these

Correct Answer:

$\left(-\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}},-1\right]∪\left[1,\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}\right)$

Explanation:

We have, $−1 ≤ [2x^2 − 3] ≤ 1 ⇒ −1 ≤ 2x^2 − 3 < 2 ⇒ 1 ≤ x^2<\frac{5}{2}$

$⇒x∈\left(-\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}},-1\right]∪\left[1,\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}\right)$
