    Let \[f(x)=\sin x+\cos x,\ g(x)={{x}^{2}}-1\]. Thus \[g(f(x))\] is invertible for \[x\in \] [IIT Screening 2004]

    A)                    \[\left[ -\frac{\pi }{2},\ 0 \right]\]

    B)            \[\left[ -\frac{\pi }{2},\ \pi  \right]\]

    C)                    \[\left[ -\frac{\pi }{2},\ \frac{\pi }{4} \right]\]

    D)            \[\left[ 0,\ \frac{\pi }{2} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               By definition of composition of function,                    \[g(f(x))={{(\sin x+\cos x)}^{2}}-1\] Þ \[g(f(x))=\sin 2x\]                    We know sin x is bijective only, when \[x\in \left[ -\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2} \right]\]                    Thus \[g(x)\] is bijective if \[-\frac{\pi }{2}\le 2x\le \frac{\pi }{2}\Rightarrow \frac{-\pi }{4}\le x\le \frac{\pi }{4}\].
