Given $\cos^{-1} x$, where $x \in [-1, 0]$. Write its range.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → $[\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi]$
x∈[−1,0]
We know:
- $\cos^{-1}(-1)=\pi$
- $\cos^{-1}(0)=\frac{\pi}{2}$
Also, $\cos^{-1}x$ is decreasing in its domain.
Therefore, the range is:$[\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi]$
