Class 12 Maths · Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Short Answer #53

Find the real domain of \(y=\sin^{-1}(x^2-4)\).
Closed intervals [−√5,−√3] and [√3,√5].
Closed intervals [−√5,−√3] and [√3,√5].

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: [−√5,−√3]∪[√3,√5]
  1. The arcsine argument must satisfy −1≤x²−4≤1.
  2. Adding 4 gives 3≤x²≤5, equivalently √3≤|x|≤√5.
  3. Thus the domain is [−√5,−√3]∪[√3,√5], including all four endpoints.
