    The domain of the function\[f(x)=si{{n}^{-1}}\left\{ {{\log }_{2}}\left( \frac{1}{2}{{x}^{2}} \right) \right\}\] is

    A) \[[-2,-1)\cup [1,2]\]

    B) \[(-2,-1]\cup [1,2]\]

    C) \[[-2,-1]\cup [1,2]\]

    D) \[(-2,-1)\cup (1,2)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] For \[f(x)\]to be defined we must have \[-1\le {{\log }_{2}}\left( \frac{1}{2}{{x}^{2}} \right)\le 1\Rightarrow {{2}^{-1}}\le \frac{1}{2}{{x}^{2}}\le {{2}^{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow 1\le {{x}^{2}}\le 4\]                                              ?. (1) Now, \[1\le {{x}^{2}}\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-1\ge 0\]i.e. \[(x-1)(x+1)\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow x\le -1orx\ge 1\]                               ?. (2) Also \[{{x}^{2}}\le 4\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-4\le 0\]i.e. \[(x-2)(x+2)\le 0\] \[\Rightarrow -2\le x\le 2\]                                     ?. (3) Form (2) and (3), we get the domain of \[f=\{(-\infty ,-1]\cup [1,\infty )\}\cap [-2,2]\] \[=[-2,-1]\cup [1,2]\]
