MCQ
The domain of the function $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{2-2\text{x}-\text{x}^2}$ is:
  • A
    $\big[-\sqrt{3},\sqrt{3}\big]$
  • B
    $\big[-1,-\sqrt{3},-1+\sqrt{3}\big]$
  • C
    $\big[-2,2\big]$
  • D
    $\big[-2-\sqrt{3},-2+\sqrt{3}\big]$

Answer

  1.  $\big[-1,-\sqrt{3},-1+\sqrt{3}\big]$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{2-2\text{x}-\text{x}^2}$

Since, $2-2\text{x}-\text{x}^2\geq0$

$\text{x}^2+2\text{x}-2\leq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-2\text{x}-2+1-1\leq0$

$\Rightarrow(\text{x}-1)^2-\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2\leq0$

$\Rightarrow\big[\text{x}-\big(1-\sqrt{3}\big)\big]\big[\text{x}-\big(1+\sqrt{3}\big)\big]\leq0$

$\Rightarrow\big(-1-\sqrt{3}\big)\leq\text{x}\leq(-1+\sqrt{3})$

Thus, domain $(\text{f})=\big[-1-\sqrt{3},-1+\sqrt{3}\big]$
