MCQ
The range of $f(x) = \sec \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}{{\cos }^2}x} \right)\,,\; - \infty < x < \infty $ is
  • $[1,\;\sqrt 2 ]$
  • B
    $[1,\;\infty )$
  • C
    $[ - \sqrt 2 ,\; - 1] \cup [1,\;\sqrt 2 ]$
  • D
    $( - \infty ,\; - 1] \cup [1,\;\infty )$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$[1,\;\sqrt 2 ]$
a
(a) $f(x) = \sec \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}\,{{\cos }^2}x} \right)$

We know that, $0 \le {\cos ^2}x \le 1$ at $\cos x = 0,\,$  $f(x) = 1$ and

at $\cos x = 1$, $f(x) = \sqrt 2 $

$\therefore$ $1 \le x \le \sqrt 2 $==>$x \in [1,\,\,\sqrt 2 ]$.
