Correct answer: A

  1. Condition for the inverse secant to exist

For real values, sec⁡−1(y)\sec^{-1}(y)sec−1(y) is defined when ∣y∣≥1.|y| \ge 1.∣y∣≥1. So for f(x)=sec⁡−1(2[x]+1),f(x)=\sec^{-1}(2[x]+1),f(x)=sec−1(2[x]+1), we need ∣2[x]+1∣≥1.|2[x]+1|\ge 1.∣2[x]+1∣≥1.

  1. Let n=[x]n=[x]n=[x]

Since [x][x][x] is the greatest integer function, n=[x]n=[x]n=[x] is always an integer. Thus the argument of sec⁡−1\sec^{-1}sec−1 becomes 2n+1,2n+1,2n+1, which is always an odd integer.

So possible values are …,−5,−3,−1,1,3,5,…\ldots,-5,-3,-1,1,3,5,\ldots…,−5,−3,−1,1,3,5,…

  1. Check whether these values satisfy the domain condition

For every odd integer 2n+12n+12n+1, we have ∣2n+1∣≥1.|2n+1|\ge 1.∣2n+1∣≥1. Indeed, 2n+12n+12n+1 can never be 000.

Hence sec⁡−1(2[x]+1)\sec^{-1}(2[x]+1)sec−1(2[x]+1) is defined for every real xxx.

  1. Therefore the domain

Since no real xxx is excluded, Domain=(−∞,∞).\text{Domain}=(-\infty,\infty).Domain=(−∞,∞).

  1. Option check
  • A: (−∞,∞)(-\infty,\infty)(−∞,∞) ✅
  • B: excludes 000, unnecessary ❌
  • C: excludes (−1,0)(-1,0)(−1,0), unnecessary ❌
  • D: excludes (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1), unnecessary ❌

Therefore, the correct option is A.\boxed{A}.A​.
