What are the domain and range of Y= sec^-1 (6x) and Y=csc^-1(7x)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

what is the domain of secx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the domain of sec^-1(x) is (-oo,-1]U[1, oo)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so what in what intervals can we have f inverse of that function

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

and by the way that the range not the domain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the domain of secx is all real numbers except pi/2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

in this interval is secx invertible? no it is not 1-1 function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused now lol

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the picture is that we can only have f inverse of secx when we cut the function to pieces let -pi/2<x<pi/2 be our interval now we can talk about the inverse of secx so then the range is [1, oo) since we are talking about inverse function of secx it s domain should be [1, oo) in other notation for any x>=1 hence sec(6x) domain is all x such that 6x>=1 therefore x>=1/6 the D is [1/6, oo)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

my point is the question is very broad! you have to pick x in the domain such that secx has an inverse

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

|dw:1413165126415:dw| this the graph of secx as you can see we can't have an inverse in all of its domain However what we can do is cut it into pieces of small intervals pick one and do the inverse
