The domain of \( f(x) = \cos^{-1}(7x) \) is:

Updated On: Mar 27, 2025
  • \( \left[ -\frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{7} \right] \)
  • \( [-7, 7] \)
  • \( [0, 7] \)
  • \( [-1, 1] \)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The function \( \cos^{-1}(x) \) is defined only for \( x \in [-1, 1] \). Here, \( f(x) = \cos^{-1}(7x) \), so \( 7x \) must also lie in the interval \([-1, 1]\). Solve the inequality:

\(-1 \leq 7x \leq 1\).

Divide through by 7:

\(-\frac{1}{7} \leq x \leq \frac{1}{7}\).

Thus, the domain of \( f(x) = \cos^{-1}(7x) \) is \(\left[ -\frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{7} \right]\).
