Domain of (x,y) is the ring between the circles x2+y2=1 and x2+y2=3 and range is from π2 to π2.

Explanation:

As the range for sinx is 1x1

1x2+y221

i.e. x2+y21 and x2+y23

Hence x and y can take values between 1 and 3

in other words domain of (x,y) is the ring between the circles x2+y2=1 and x2+y2=3

graph{(x^2+y^2-1)(x^2+y^2-3)=0 [-5, 5, -2.5, 2.5]}

and range for arcsin(x2+y22) is as that of any arcsinx, that is between π2 and π2
