Latest Domain or Range MCQ Objective Questions
Domain or Range Question 1:
Find the domain and range of the function whose graph is as shown below
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Domain or Range Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- The domain of a function is the set of values that we are allowed to plug into our function.
- The range is the set of all possible values that the function will give when we give in the domain as input.
Calculation:
The above graph is of the function cosecx
Since \(cosec x = \frac{1}{sinx}\), the domain of the cosec function is the set {x : x ∈ R and x ≠ nπ, n ∈ Z} or R - {x : x = nπ, n ∈ Z} and
the range set is the set {y : y ∈ R and y ≥ 1 or y ≤ -1}
i.e., the set R - (-1,1).
It means that y = cosec x assumes all real values except -1 < y < 1 and is not defined for the integral multiple of π.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2).
Domain or Range Question 2:
The domain of sin-1 x is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Domain or Range Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Where the function is defined is called the range of the inverse trigonometric function and the values we get are called the domain of the inverse trigonometric function.
Solutions -
Function | Domain | Range |
\(sin^{-1}x\) | [-1,1] | \(\frac{-\pi}{2}\leq y\leq \frac{\pi}{2}\) |
\(cos^{-1}x\) | [-1,1] | \(0\leq y\leq \pi\) |
\(tan^{-1}x\) | whole real number | \(\frac{-\pi}{2}< y< \frac{\pi}{2}\) |
\(cot^{-1}x\) | whole real number | \(0 |
So the final answer is [-1,1] hence option 2 is correct.
Alternate Method
Let \(sin^{-1}x=A \Rightarrow x = sinA\)
and we all know that the Sin function is defined on a whole real line so the range of the given function is \(\mathbb{R}\). and the values which we get of sin function for the whole real line is in between [-1,1] because sin function is periodic and oscillates between 1 and -1 on the whole real line.
So the final answer is [-1,1] hence option 2 is correct.
Domain or Range Question 3:
What is the range of the function f(x) = 1 - sinx defined on entire real line?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Domain or Range Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The range of a function is the set of all its outputs.
Example:
Let us consider the function f: A→ B,
where f(x) = 2x and A and B = {set of natural numbers}.
Here we say A is the domain and B is the co-domain.
The set of ƒ images of all the elements of A is known as the range of ƒ.
Calculation:
f(x) = 1 - sinx
Here the domain of f(x) is (-∞, ∞)
At this domain, the range of sinx is [-1, 1]
Range of f(x) = 1 - sin2x = 1 - [-1, 1]
⇒ f(x) = [0 , 2]
∴ Range of f(x) is [0 , 2].
Domain or Range Question 4:
The range of the function f(x) = 7 cos(10x + 4π) is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Domain or Range Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept Used:
The range of cos(x) is [-1, 1]
Calculation
Given:
f(x) = 7 cos(10x + 4π)
The range of cos(10x + 4π) is [-1, 1]
Multiply by 7:
⇒ 7 × [-1, 1] = [-7, 7]
∴ The range of f(x) = 7 cos(10x + 4π) is [-7, 7]
Hence option 4 is correct
Domain or Range Question 5:
Let f(x) = sin 2x + cos 2x and g(x) = x2 - 1, then g(f(x)) is invertible in the domain
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Domain or Range Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Invertibility of a Function:
- A function is invertible if it is one-one (injective) and onto (surjective).
- For composition g(f(x)) to be invertible, f(x) must be one-one in its domain, and g(x) must be one-one in the range of f(x).
- f(x) = sin 2x + cos 2x is a periodic trigonometric function. We need to find the interval where it is one-one.
- g(x) = x² − 1 is not one-one over ℝ since it is a parabola, but it is one-one over intervals where x is either increasing or decreasing (monotonic intervals).
- So, we need to choose an interval where:
- f(x) is one-one
- g(f(x)) is one-one, which means f(x) should not take both +a and −a, as g(x) = x² − 1 gives same output for ±a
Calculation:
Given,
f(x) = sin 2x + cos 2x
⇒ f(x) = √2 sin(2x + π/4)
This is a sine function with amplitude √2 and period π
We want to restrict domain such that f(x) is one-one and doesn't take same absolute values with opposite sign.
The function sin(θ) is one-one in interval [−π/2, π/2]
So, 2x + π/4 ∈ [−π/2, π/2]
⇒ −π/2 ≤ 2x + π/4 ≤ π/2
⇒ Subtract π/4: −3π/4 ≤ 2x ≤ π/4
⇒ Divide by 2: −3π/8 ≤ x ≤ π/8
But we need symmetric interval around 0 that ensures f(x) is one-one and g(f(x)) is also one-one.
Try x ∈ [−π/8, π/8]
Then 2x ∈ [−π/4, π/4] ⇒ sin(2x + π/4) lies in a monotonic interval
⇒ f(x) = √2 sin(2x + π/4) becomes one-one
Also, f(x) will not take both a and −a in this range, so g(f(x)) = (f(x))² − 1 will be one-one too
∴ The domain in which g(f(x)) is invertible is x ∈ [−π/8, π/8]

The range of sine function is [-1,1] i.e \(\rm \Rightarrow -1\leq sin(x) \leq 1\)
Calculation:
We can write, \(\rm sin(A - \frac{\pi}{3}) \in [-1,1]\)
\(\rm \Rightarrow -1\leq sin(A - \frac{\pi}{3}) \leq 1\)

Leibnitz integral rule,
\({d\over dx} [\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} f(t,x)dt] = \int_a^b {\partial f \over \partial x} dt + b'f(b(x),x) - a'f(a(x),x)\)
Calculation:
Given, g(x) = \(\int^x_0\sqrt{1-t^2}\ dt\),
By Leibnitz rule,
g'(x) = \(\int^x_0 0\ dt + (x)'\sqrt{1-x^2} - (0)'\sqrt{1-0^2} \)
⇒ g'(x) = \(0 + 1.\sqrt{1-x^2} + 0\)
⇒ g'(x) = \(\sqrt{1-x^2}\)
If g'(x) is defined, then 1 - x2 ≥ 0
⇒ x ∈ [-1, 1]
∴ The correct option is (3).
