Answer

$D=(−∞,-1]\cup[1,∞)$ $R=\left[0,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)\cup\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2},\pi\right]$

Work Step by Step

Consider the function: $f(x)=\sec x$ For the inverse to exist, we must restrict the domain of $f$ so that the function is one-to-one: $D_f=\left[0,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)\cup\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2},\pi\right]$ $R_f=(−∞,-1]\cup[1,∞)$ The domain and range of the inverse $f^{−1}(x)=\sec^{−1}(x)$ are: $D_{f^{−1}}=(−∞,-1]\cup[1,∞)$ $R_{f^{−1}}=\left[0,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)\cup\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2},\pi\right]$
