- B4
- C3
- D6
Correct answer
C. 3
Step-by-step solution
For the numerator to be defined, the argument of the inverse cosine must lie in [-1, 1] . We have 2x^2 - 3x + 1 x^2 + x - 2 = (2x - 1)(x - 1) (x + 2)(x - 1) . For x 1 , this simplifies to 2x - 1 x + 2 . Solving -1 2x - 1 x + 2 1 : Case 1: 2x - 1 x + 2 1 x - 3 x + 2 0 x (-2, 3] . Case 2: 2x - 1 x + 2 -1 3x + 1 x + 2 0 x (- , -2) [- 1 3 , ) . The intersection of these conditions gives x [- 1 3 , 3 ] . Since x 1 , the domain of the numerator is [- 1 3 , 3 ] - 1 . For the denominator to be defined, the argument of the
