  2. B. (1, )
  3. C. (-1,1)
  4. D. (- , )

Answer

D. (- , )

Step-by-step solution

f (x) is defined for x^ 12 -x^ 9 +x^ 4 -x+1>0 array l x^ 4 (x^ 8 +1 )-x (x^ 8 +1 )+1>0 \\ (x^ 8 +1 ) x (x^ 3 -1 )+1>0 array If x 1 or x -1, then the above expres - sion is positive. If -1 0 \\ [x^ 4 +1>x^ 8 +1 and so x^ 4 +1>x (x^ 8 +1 ) ] array The domain of f=(- , )
