How do you find the domain and range of arcsin(3x+1)?

Domain: x[23,0]
Range: y[π2,π2]

Explanation:

It is easy if you treat it as a transformation of your basic arcsin graph, knowing that the domain is [.1,1] and the range is [π2,π2].

Then taking your function y=af(bx+c)+d, transpose it so that the actual function is on its own: yda=f(bx+c) and substitute each y and x transformation into the range/domain, and solve as an inequality.

Hence you get π2yπ2 and 13x+11.

Of course the first one needs no solving; we already have the range.

Rearranging the second inequality we get the domain:
23x0
