What is the maximum domain of definition of function f(x)=arcsin(2x-3)?

To determine the maximum domain of definition of the
function, w'ell impose constraints to the argument 2x -
3.


We know that the domain of definition of the arcsine
function is [-1 ; 1], so the argument of the function must belong to this range of
values.


-1 =< 2x - 3 =<
1


We'll solve the left
inequality:


2x - 3 >=
-1


2x >= 3 - 1


2x
>= 2


x >=
1


We'll solve the right
inequality:


2x - 3 =<
1


2x =< 3+1


2x
=< 4


x =<
2


The maximum domain of the given function
f(x)=arcsin(2x - 3), is: [1 ; 2].
