Correct answer: B

  1. Interpret the function

    The given function is f(x)=cos⁡(sec⁡−1x)x−[x]f(x)=\frac{\cos\left(\sec^{-1}x\right)}{\sqrt{x-[x]}}f(x)=x−[x]​cos(sec−1x)​ where [x][x][x] is the greatest integer function.

  2. Condition from the denominator

    Since the denominator is x−[x],\sqrt{x-[x]},x−[x]​, we need:

    • x−[x]≥0x-[x]\ge 0x−[x]≥0 for the square root to exist, which is always true because x−[x]x-[x]x−[x] is the fractional part of xxx.
    • But since it is in the denominator, we must also have x−[x]≠0.x-[x] \ne 0.x−[x]=0.

    Now, x−[x]=0x-[x]=0x−[x]=0 exactly when xxx is an integer.

    Therefore, from this part, x∉Z.x \notin \mathbb{Z}.x∈/Z.

  3. Condition from sec⁡−1x\sec^{-1}xsec−1x

    For sec⁡−1x\sec^{-1}xsec−1x to be defined as a real value, we need ∣x∣≥1.|x|\ge 1.∣x∣≥1.

    That is, x∈(−∞,−1]∪[1,∞).x\in (-\infty,-1]\cup[1,\infty).x∈(−∞,−1]∪[1,∞).

  4. Combine both conditions

    We need both:

    • xxx is not an integer
    • ∣x∣≥1|x|\ge 1∣x∣≥1

    So the domain is {x∈R:∣x∣≥1, x∉Z}.\{x\in \mathbb{R}: |x|\ge 1,\ x\notin \mathbb{Z}\}.{x∈R:∣x∣≥1, x∈/Z}.

    This means:

    • all non-integers less than or equal to −1-1−1
    • all non-integers greater than or equal to 111

    Since −1-1−1 and 111 themselves are integers, they are excluded anyway.

    Hence the domain can be described as: all non-integers except the interval [−1,1][-1,1][−1,1].

  5. Check options

    • A: all real except integers
      Incorrect, because sec⁡−1x\sec^{-1}xsec−1x is not defined for ∣x∣<1|x|<1∣x∣<1.

    • B: all non-integers except the interval [−1,1][-1,1][−1,1]
      Correct.

    • C: all integers except 0,−1,10,-1,10,−1,1
      Incorrect, integers are excluded due to x−[x]\sqrt{x-[x]}x−[x]​ in denominator.

    • D: all real except the interval [−1,1][-1,1][−1,1]
      Incorrect, this includes non-integer values outside that interval, but also includes integers like 2,3,−22,3,-22,3,−2, which are not allowed.

  6. Final answer

    B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
