Step-by-Step Solution

  1. The domain of \(\sin^{-1}(x)\) is \([-1, 1]\). Therefore, for \(f(x) = \sin^{-1}(-x^2)\) to be defined, we must have \(-1 \leq -x^2 \leq 1\).
  2. Multiplying by -1, we get \(1 \geq x^2 \geq -1\). This can be split into two inequalities: \(x^2 \leq 1\) and \(x^2 \geq -1\).
  3. The inequality \(x^2 \geq -1\) is always true for all real numbers \(x\), since \(x^2\) is always non-negative.
  4. The inequality \(x^2 \leq 1\) can be rewritten as \(-1 \leq x \leq 1\).
  5. Therefore, the domain of \(f(x)\) is \([-1, 1]\).

Correct Answer: [-1, 1]
