Question
Assertion (A): The domain of the function $\sec ^{-1} 2 x$ is $\left(-\infty,-\frac{1}{2}\right] \cup\left[\frac{1}{2}, \infty\right) .$ Reason $(R): \sec ^{-1}(-2)=-\frac{\pi}{4}$

Answer

$\sec ^{-1} x$ is defined if $x \leq-1$ or $x \geq 1$.
Hence, $\sec ^{-1} 2 x$ will be defined if $x \leq-\frac{1}{2}$ or $x \geq \frac{1}{2}$
The range of the function $\sec ^{-1} x$ is $[0, \pi]-\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\}$
Hence, $A$ is true and $R$ is false.
