The domain of the function is
Options
- A
- B[-1,1]
- C\left(-\infty,\frac{1}{2}\right] \cup \left[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},+\infty\right)
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
For to be defined, we must have \quad x \geq \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \gt 0\therefore \quad x^{2} \geq 1-x^{2}x^{2} \geq \frac{1}{2}1-x^{2} \geq 0x^{2} \leq 1x^{2} \geq \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow\left(x-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(x+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \geq 0\Rightarrow x \leq-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}x \geq \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}x^{2} \leq 1 \Rightarrow(x-1)(x+1) \leq 0\Rightarrow-1 \leq x \leq 1x \gt 0, x^{2} \geq \frac{1}{2}x^{2} \leq 1\Rightarrow x \in \left[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},1\right]
