Answer

Domain: All real numbers such that $ t \ne 2 + 4k $ , where $k$ is an integer Range: $ (-\infty, -1] \cup [1,\infty) $

Work Step by Step

Secant functions are not defined at $ \frac{\pi}{2}+\pi k $ , where $k$ is an integer. So $ \sec{\frac{\pi t}{4}} $ is not defined at: $ \frac{\pi t}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2}+\pi k $ $ t = (\frac{\pi}{2}+\pi k) \frac{4}{\pi} $ $ t = 2 + 4k $ The range of a secant function is $ (-\infty, -1] \cup [1,\infty) $.
