Solution
The correct option is D The question in hand is to find the graph sec−1(x) First of all keep in mind the domain and range of the functionsec−1(x). Its domain is R-(-1,1) and range [0,π]−{π2}
since secθis not defined at the point x=π2. There is only one curve which satisfies this domain and range which is option (d). Note the endpoints of the curve (-1, π) and (1, 0). Also try to identify which functions are related to other options. Option (a) has the graph ofy=sin−1(x) Option (b) hasy=tan−1(x) Option (c) hasy=cosec−1(x)
