Let \([x]\) denote the greatest integer less than or equal to \(x\). Then the domain of \(f(x)=\sec ^{-1}(2[x]+1)\) is :

[JEE Main 2025, 28 Jan (Shift 2)]

a

\((-\infty ,\infty )\)

b

\((-\infty, \infty)-\{0\}\)

c

\((-\infty,-1] \cup[0, \infty)\)

d

\((-\infty,-1] \cup[1, \infty)\)

✓ Correct answer: a)

\((-\infty ,\infty )\)

Explanation

Domain of \({\text{sec}}^{-1}x\) is \(\mathrm{x}\in (-\infty ,-1]\cup [1,\infty )\)

\(2[x]+1 \leq-1\) or \(2[x]+1 \geq 1\)

\(\Rightarrow[x] \leq-1\) or \([x] \geq 0\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{x} \in(-\infty, 0)\) or \(x \in[0, \infty)\)

\(\Rightarrow x \in(-\infty, \infty)\)
