Correct answer: D

We need the domain of f(x)=cos⁡−1(2sin⁡−1(14x2−1)π).f(x)=\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4x^2-1}\right)}{\pi}\right).f(x)=cos−1(π2sin−1(4x2−11​)​).

For this function to be defined, we must ensure:

  1. sin⁡−1(14x2−1)\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4x^2-1}\right)sin−1(4x2−11​) is defined.
  2. The argument of cos⁡−1\cos^{-1}cos−1 lies in [−1,1][-1,1][−1,1].

Step 1: Condition for the inverse sine

We need −1≤14x2−1≤1,-1 \le \frac{1}{4x^2-1} \le 1,−1≤4x2−11​≤1, with also 4x2−1≠0⇒x≠±12.4x^2-1 \ne 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x\ne \pm \frac12.4x2−1=0⇒x=±21​.

Now solve ∣14x2−1∣≤1.\left|\frac{1}{4x^2-1}\right|\le 1.​4x2−11​​≤1. This gives ∣4x2−1∣≥1.|4x^2-1|\ge 1.∣4x2−1∣≥1.

So, 4x2−1≥1or4x2−1≤−1.4x^2-1\ge 1 \quad \text{or} \quad 4x^2-1\le -1.4x2−1≥1or4x2−1≤−1.

Case 1:

4x2−1≥14x^2-1\ge 14x2−1≥1 4x2≥24x^2\ge 24x2≥2 x2≥12x^2\ge \frac12x2≥21​ ∣x∣≥12.|x|\ge \frac{1}{\sqrt2}.∣x∣≥2​1​.

Case 2:

4x2−1≤−14x^2-1\le -14x2−1≤−1 4x2≤04x^2\le 04x2≤0 x=0.x=0.x=0.

Thus from the sin⁡−1\sin^{-1}sin−1 condition, x∈(−∞,−12]∪{0}∪[12,∞).x\in (-\infty,-\tfrac{1}{\sqrt2}]\cup\{0\}\cup[\tfrac{1}{\sqrt2},\infty).x∈(−∞,−2​1​]∪{0}∪[2​1​,∞).


Step 2: Condition for the inverse cosine

Let θ=sin⁡−1(14x2−1).\theta=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4x^2-1}\right).θ=sin−1(4x2−11​). Then θ∈[−π2,π2].\theta\in\left[-\frac\pi2,\frac\pi2\right].θ∈[−2π​,2π​]. Hence 2θπ∈[−1,1].\frac{2\theta}{\pi}\in[-1,1].π2θ​∈[−1,1].

Therefore the argument of cos⁡−1\cos^{-1}cos−1 is automatically in its allowed domain whenever sin⁡−1\sin^{-1}sin−1 is defined.

So no extra restriction arises from cos⁡−1\cos^{-1}cos−1.


Step 3: Final domain

Hence the domain is (−∞,−12]∪[12,∞)∪{0}.(-\infty,-\tfrac{1}{\sqrt2}]\cup[\tfrac{1}{\sqrt2},\infty)\cup\{0\}.(−∞,−2​1​]∪[2​1​,∞)∪{0}.

This matches Option D.


Step 4: Compare with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer: D

Our derived answer: D

So the answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
