Domain or Range Question 1:

Find the domain and range of the function whose graph is as shown below

F4 Madhuri Engineering 26.04.2022 D1

  1. Domain = R - [-1, 1], Range = [-1,1]
  2. Domain = R - {x : x = nπ, n ∈ Z}, Range = R - (-1, 1)
  3. Domain = R - {x : x =(2n+1)π, n∈Z}, Range = R - [-1, 1]
  4. Domain = R - {x : x = nπ, n∈Z}, Range = R 
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : Domain = R - {x : x = nπ, n ∈ Z}, Range = R - (-1, 1)

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

  1. (-π, π )
  2. [-1, 1]
  3. (0, 2π)
  4. (-∞, ∞)
  5. [-2, 1]

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : [-1, 1]

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?

  1. (0, 2)
  2. [0, 2]
  3. (-1, 1)
  4. [-1, 1]
  5. [-2, 2]

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : [0, 2]

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

  1. [−1, 1]
  2. [-4π, 4π]
  3. [-10, 10]
  4. [-7, 7]
  5. [-2π, 2π]

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : [-7, 7]

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) = x- 1, then g(f(x)) is invertible in the domain

  1. \(x \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\)
  2. \(x \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]\)
  3. \(x \in\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]\)
  4. \(x \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{8}, \frac{\pi}{8}\right]\)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : \(x \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{8}, \frac{\pi}{8}\right]\)

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]

Concept:

The range of sine function is [-1,1] i.e \(\rm \Rightarrow -1\leq sin(x) \leq 1\)

 

Calculation:

We can write, \(\rm sin(A - \frac{\pi}{3}) \in [-1,1]\)

\(\rm \Rightarrow -1\leq sin(A - \frac{\pi}{3}) \leq 1\)

\(\rm \Rightarrow -2\leq 2sin(A - \frac{\pi}{3}) \leq 2\)

So, from the relation, we can conclude that the minimum value of 2sin(A - \(\rm \frac{\pi}{3}\)) is -2.

Concept:

If cos-1 x = y then x = cos y

Calculation:

As we know that, if cos-1 x = y then x = cos y

So,y = cos-1 (x2 - 9) --------(Given)

⇒ x2 - 9 = cos y

As we know that, -1 ≤ cos y ≤ 1, where y ∈ R

⇒ - 1 ≤ x2 - 9 ≤ 1

Adding 9 on all the sides of the inequation we get

⇒ 8 ≤ x2 ≤ 10

We can re-write the above inequation as

⇒ 2√2 ≤ |x| ≤ √10

Concept:

Leibnitz integral rule,

\({d\over dx} [\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} f(t,x)dt] = \int_a^b {\partial f \over \partial x} dt + b'f(b(x),x) - a'f(a(x),x)\)

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]
