Which of the following is the range of the principal value of \(\sec ^{-1} x\) ?

  1. A \(\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
  2. B \(\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
  3. C \([0, \pi)\)
  4. D \([0, \pi]-\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \([0, \pi]-\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The range of the principal value of \(\sec ^{-1} x\) is \([0, \pi]-\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\}\). This is because sec \(y=\frac{1}{\cos y}\) is defined for \(y \in[0, \pi]\), excluding \(y=\frac{\pi}{2}\) where the cosine function is zero. (D)…
