Domain of definition of Trigonometric Function

Question 5

What is the domain of the function f(x)= Inv-sin(x-4)/sqrt(16-x^2) + Inv-cos(3-x) ?
  1. (3, 5)
  2. [2, 3] U [4, 5]
  3. [3, 4)
  4. (3, 4)
Correct Answer is [3, 4). Choice (3)

Explanatory Answer

Domain of Sin-1 is from [-1, 1].

So for computing domain of Sin(x-4), we need to see where (x - 4) lies between -1 and 1.

Or domain of Sin-1(x - 4) is [3, 5]

Domain of sqrt(16-x^2) is [-4, 4]

Hence, the domain of 1/sqrt(16-x^2) is (4,4) as the denominator cannot be zero.

Domain of Cos-1(3 - x) can be computed similar to how we did domain of Sin(x-4).

The domain for this component is [2, 4]

The intersection of these three is [3, 4). Choice (3).
