Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \([1, 2]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For the function \(f(x) = \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x - 1})\) to be defined, the argument of the inverse sine function must lie in the interval \([-1, 1]\). \(-1 \le \sqrt{x - 1} \le 1\) Since the principal square root is always non-negative, this inequality reduces to:…
