Correct answer: B

  1. We need the domain of f(x)=4−x2+cos⁡−1(x2−1)+log⁡(cos⁡x)f(x)=4^{-x^2}+\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}-1\right)+\log(\cos x)f(x)=4−x2+cos−1(2x​−1)+log(cosx) restricted to the interval (−π2,π2).\left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right).(−2π​,2π​).

  2. Check each term separately.

(i) Term 4−x24^{-x^2}4−x2

This is an exponential expression and is defined for every real xxx. So, no restriction from this term.

(ii) Term cos⁡−1(x2−1)\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}-1\right)cos−1(2x​−1)

For cos⁡−1(t)\cos^{-1}(t)cos−1(t) to be defined, we need −1≤t≤1.-1 \le t \le 1.−1≤t≤1. Here, t=x2−1.t=\frac{x}{2}-1.t=2x​−1. So, −1≤x2−1≤1.-1 \le \frac{x}{2}-1 \le 1.−1≤2x​−1≤1. Add 111 throughout: 0≤x2≤2.0 \le \frac{x}{2} \le 2.0≤2x​≤2. Multiply by 222: 0≤x≤4.0 \le x \le 4.0≤x≤4. Thus this term requires x∈[0,4].x\in[0,4].x∈[0,4].

(iii) Term log⁡(cos⁡x)\log(\cos x)log(cosx)

For logarithm to be defined, cos⁡x>0.\cos x>0.cosx>0. Now on the interval (−π2,π2),\left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right),(−2π​,2π​), we know cos⁡x>0\cos x>0cosx>0 for all xxx in this open interval. So this term requires x∈(−π2,π2).x\in\left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right).x∈(−2π​,2π​).

  1. Combine all restrictions:
  • from exponential: all real numbers,
  • from inverse cosine: [0,4][0,4][0,4],
  • from logarithm and given interval: (−π2,π2)\left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right)(−2π​,2π​).

Hence the required interval is [0,4]∩(−π2,π2)=[0,π2).[0,4]\cap \left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=[0,\tfrac{\pi}{2}).[0,4]∩(−2π​,2π​)=[0,2π​).

  1. Match with options: [0,π2)\boxed{\left[0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)}[0,2π​)​ which is Option B.
