Concept:

Domin of cos-1 x is [-1, 1]

Adding or subtracting the same quantity from both sides of an inequality leaves the inequality symbol unchanged.

 

Calculation:

Given:  f(x) = cos-1 (x - 2)

As we know, Domin of cos-1 x is [-1, 1]

Therefore, -1 ≤ (x - 2) ≤ 1

Adding 2 in above inequality, 

⇒ -1 + 2 ≤ x - 2 + 2 ≤ 1 + 2

⇒ 1 ≤ x ≤ 3

∴ Domin of cos-1 (x - 2) is [1, 3]
