MCQ
The range of the function, $\text{f(x)}=(1+\sec^{-1}\text{x})(1+\cos^{-1}\text{x})$ is:
  • A
    $(-\infty,\infty)$
  • B
    $(-\infty,0]\cup[4.\infty)$
  • C
    $\big\{0,(1+\pi^2)\big\}$
  • $[1.(1+\pi)^2]$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$[1.(1+\pi)^2]$
$\text{f(x)}=(1+\sec^{-1}(\text{x}))(1+\cos^{-1}(\text{x}))$
Here the limiting component is $\cos−1(\text{x}),$ since the domain of $\cos−1(\text{x}),$ is $[−1, 1].$
Therefore,
$\text{f}(1)=(1+0)(1+0)$
$=1$
$\text{f}(−1)=(1+\pi(1+\pi)$
$=(1+\pi)^2 $
Hence range of $\text{f(x)}=[1,(1+\pi)^2]$
