Correct answer: B

  1. For the function f(x)=cos⁡−1(x2−4x+2x2+3),f(x)=\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{x^2-4x+2}{x^2+3}\right),f(x)=cos−1(x2+3x2−4x+2​), the argument of cos⁡−1\cos^{-1}cos−1 must satisfy −1≤x2−4x+2x2+3≤1.-1 \le \frac{x^2-4x+2}{x^2+3} \le 1.−1≤x2+3x2−4x+2​≤1.

  2. First note that x2+3>0for all real x,x^2+3>0 \quad \text{for all real }x,x2+3>0for all real x, so we can safely multiply inequalities by x2+3x^2+3x2+3 without changing signs.

  3. Solve the right inequality: x2−4x+2x2+3≤1.\frac{x^2-4x+2}{x^2+3} \le 1.x2+3x2−4x+2​≤1. Multiplying by x2+3x^2+3x2+3, x2−4x+2≤x2+3.x^2-4x+2 \le x^2+3.x2−4x+2≤x2+3. −4x+2≤3-4x+2 \le 3−4x+2≤3 −4x≤1-4x \le 1−4x≤1 x≥−14.x \ge -\frac14.x≥−41​.

  4. Solve the left inequality: x2−4x+2x2+3≥−1.\frac{x^2-4x+2}{x^2+3} \ge -1.x2+3x2−4x+2​≥−1. Multiplying by x2+3x^2+3x2+3, x2−4x+2≥−(x2+3).x^2-4x+2 \ge -(x^2+3).x2−4x+2≥−(x2+3). x2−4x+2≥−x2−3x^2-4x+2 \ge -x^2-3x2−4x+2≥−x2−3 2x2−4x+5≥0.2x^2-4x+5 \ge 0.2x2−4x+5≥0.

  5. Check whether 2x2−4x+5≥02x^2-4x+5 \ge 02x2−4x+5≥0 is always true. Its discriminant is Δ=(−4)2−4⋅2⋅5=16−40=−24<0.\Delta = (-4)^2-4\cdot 2\cdot 5=16-40=-24<0.Δ=(−4)2−4⋅2⋅5=16−40=−24<0. Since the coefficient of x2x^2x2 is positive, the quadratic is always positive for all real xxx. Hence this inequality imposes no restriction.

  6. Therefore the only restriction comes from step 3: x≥−14.x\ge -\frac14.x≥−41​.

  7. So the domain is [−14,∞).\boxed{\left[-\frac14,\infty\right)}.[−41​,∞)​.

  8. Comparing with the options, this is Option B.
