Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(R-(-1,3]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(y=f(x)=\left([x]^2-[x]-2\right)^{-1 / 2}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad y^2=\frac{1}{\sqrt{[x]^2-[x]-2}}\) For real valued \(\begin{aligned} & {[x]^2-[x]-2 > 0} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad\{[x]-2\}\{[x]+1\} > 0 \\ & {[x] \in \mathbf{R}-(-1,2)} \\ \end{aligned}\) So,…
