What is the domain and range of function: $f(x) = arccos( -x^2 - frac12)$ ?



My attempt:



We have $f(x)=arccos(-x^2- 1/2)$, $g(x)= -x^2- 1/2$, $-1 le -x^2 - 1/2 le -1$ and $x^2 ge 0$.



So $x^2 le1/2$.



According that the domain of $g(x)$ is $Dg = [-1/√2 , 1/√2 ]$.



And the Range of $g(x)$ is $Rg = (-∞ , -1/2)$.



So the Range of g(x) will be our Domain of our function $f(x) ( f(x) = arccos(g(x)))$ will be $Df = (-∞, -1/2)$.



In this case, the Range of our function $f(x)$ will be $Rf = (2π/3 , π)$.

    By the restriction to $Dg = [-1/√2 , 1/√2 ]$ the range of g(x) is $Rg = (-1,-1/2)$ and then the range for f(x) is $Rf = (2π/3 , π)$ as you correctly stated. Therefore the only problem is with the range for $g(x)$ which you have indicated.

f(x)=arccos(-x^2- 1/2). g(x)= -x^2- 1/2. -1 <= -x^2 - 1/2 <= 1 and x^2 >= 0. So x^2 <=1/2. According that the domain of g(x) is Dg = [-1/√2 , 1/√2 ]. And the Range of g(x) is Rg = (-∞ , -1/2).
