domain of f(x)=sec^2(x)

domain

f (x) = sec^{2} (x)

πn \leq x < \frac{π}{2} + πn or \frac{π}{2} + πn < x < π + πn

Interval Notation

[πn, \frac{π}{2} + πn) \cup (\frac{π}{2} + πn, π + πn)

Solution steps

Take the denominator(s) of

sec^{2} (x)

and compare to zero:

x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

Periodicity of

sec^{2} (x) : π

Combine period:

πn \leq x < π + πn

and undefined points.

The domain is

πn \leq x < \frac{π}{2} + πn or \frac{π}{2} + πn < x < π + πn
