Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \([-\sqrt{5},-\sqrt{3}] \cup[\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{5}]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The domain of the function \(f(x) = \sin^{-1}(u)\) is defined by the condition \(-1 \le u \le 1\). For the given function \(f(x) = \sin^{-1}(x^2 - 4)\), we must have \(-1 \le x^2 - 4 \le 1\). Adding 4 to all parts of the inequality: \(3 \le x^2 \le 5\). This inequality implies…
