JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 2. inverse trigonometric function

Let \([\cdot]\) denote the greatest integer function. If the domain of the function \(f(x) = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x+[x]}{3}\right)\) is \([\alpha, \beta)\), then \(\alpha^2 + \beta^2\) is equal to:

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(10\)
  4. D \(13\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For the function \(f(x) = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x+[x]}{3}\right)\) to be defined, the argument of the inverse sine function must lie in the interval \([-1, 1]\). \(-1 \le \dfrac{x+[x]}{3} \le 1\) \(-3 \le x + [x] \le 3\) Using the fractional part function \(\{x\}\), we can write…
