What is the domain of the function f(x) = sqrt[cos x].

For y = f(x),
the domain of the function f(x) is all the values of x for which y is real.

Here y = f(x) = sqrt[cos(x)]

The value of cos x lies in the interval
[-1, 1] for all values of x.

But sqrt [cos(x)] is real only when cos(x) is
not negative. Also it has to be kept in mind that cos(x) is a periodic function and we get the
same value for cos x after x has decreased on increased by 2*pi.

The interval
for x where the value of cos x is not negative is [0 + 2*n*pi, pi/2 + 2*n*pi] U [3*pi/2 +
2*n*pi, 0 + 2*n*pi]

The domain of the function f(x) =
sqrt[cos(x)] is [0 + 2*n*pi, pi/2 + 2*n*pi] U [3*pi/2 + 2*n*pi, 0 +
2*n*pi]
