If the domain of the function f(x)=sin-1(x-12x+3) is R-(α,β), then 12αβ is equal to : [2024]
(2)
We have, f(x)=sin-1(x-12x+3), since domain of sin-1x is [-1,1],∀x.
⇒-1≤x-12x+3≤1⇒x-12x+3+1≥0 and x-12x+3-1≤0
⇒x-1+2x+32x+3≥0 and x-1-2x-32x+3≤0
⇒3x+22x+3≥0 and -x-42x+3≤0
Now, 3x+22x+3≥0⇒x<-32 or x≥-23
⇒x∈(-∞,-32)∪[-23,∞)
and -x-42x+3≤0⇒x≤-4 or x>-32
⇒x∈(-∞,-4]∪(-32,∞)
Hence, x∈(-∞,-4]∪[-23,∞) i.e., x∈R-(-4,-23)
So, Domain : R-(-4,-23)⇒α=-4 and β=-23
∴ 12×β=12×(-4)×(-23)=32
