DifficultyEasy -2.0 This is a 1-mark multiple-choice question requiring only direct recall of the domain of arcsin x, with no calculation or problem-solving involved. It tests basic knowledge that arcsin is defined for inputs between -1 and 1, which is standard A-level content requiring minimal thought.
