B. (tansincos1,tansincossin1)
C. [−1,1]
D. [sincostan1,sincossintan1]
Solution
Hint- Here in this problem the concept of inverse trigonometry and greatest function property has been used which will be explained first then accordingly we will come to the answer of the question. Greatest Integer function is defined as when the input is provided to the function the output is the integer which is less than or equal to the input provided. It is denoted by []
Complete step-by-step answer:
For example
[3.5]=3
The given function is
[sin−1(cos−1(sin−1(tan−1x)))]=1
Now in order to solve, we will let define some variables
Let θ=cos−1(sin−1(tan−1x))
Substitute this value in the above equation
[sin−1θ]=1
Also we know that from the definition of sin
1⩽θ⩽2π
Therefor the above equation becomes
sin1⩽θ⩽sin2π sin1⩽θ⩽1
Now, θ=cos−1(sin−1(tan−1x))
Let ϕ=sin−1(tan−1x)
Therefore
θ=cos−1(sin−1(tan−1x)) θ=cos−1ϕ
Substitute the value of θ in the equation sin1⩽θ⩽1
sin1⩽cos−1ϕ⩽1 cossin1⩽ϕ⩽cos1
Again let β=tan−1x
Therefore ϕ=sin−1(tan−1x)
ϕ=sin−1β
Substitute the value of ϕ in equation cossin1⩽ϕ⩽cos1
cossin1⩽sin−1β⩽cos1 sincossin1⩽β⩽sincos1
As we let β=tan−1x substitute it in the above equation we get
sincossin1⩽tan−1x⩽sincos1 tansincossin1⩽x⩽tansincos1
Therefore x lies between tansincossin1⩽x⩽tansincos1
Hence the correct option is A.
Additional information-
The domain of function is all the values that are allowed as input in the function and range of the function is all the values that a function gives as an output.
Note- In order to solve these types of questions, you need to have a good concept of domain and range of a function. In the above question we define the range of arcsin and then proceed to solve the problem step by step. Learn the domain and range of all trigonometric functions and the concept of solving inequality problems.
