The domain of the function $$f(x)=\sin ^{-1}\left[2 x^{2}-3\right]+\log _{2}\left(\log _{\frac{1}{2}}\left(x^{2}-5 x+5\right)\right)$$, where [t] is the greatest integer function, is :
Solution
<p>$- 1 \le 2{x^2} - 3 < 2$</p>
<p>or $2 \le 2{x^2} < 5$</p>
<p>or $1 \le {x^2} < {5 \over 2}$</p>
<p>$$x \in \left( { - \sqrt {{5 \over 2}} , - 1} \right] \cup \left[ {1,\sqrt {{5 \over 2}} } \right)$$</p>
<p>${\log _{{1 \over 2}}}({x^2} - 5x + 5) > 0$</p>
<p>$0 < {x^2} - 5x + 5 < 1$</p>
<p>${x^2} - 5x + 5 > 0$ & ${x^2} - 5x + 4 < 0$</p>
<p>$$x \in \left( { - \infty ,{{5 - \sqrt 5 } \over 2}} \right) \cup \left( {{{5 + \sqrt 5 } \over 2},\infty } \right)$$</p>
<p>& $x \in ( - \infty ,1) \cup (4,\infty )$</p>
<p>Taking intersection</p>
<p>$x \in \left( {1,{{5 - \sqrt 5 } \over 2}} \right)$</p>
