Domain: (0,1](0,1]
Range: (-∞,ln (pi/2)](,ln(π2)]

Explanation:

Let f (x)=ln (sin^-1x)f(x)=ln(sin1x)
Now as lnylny is defined only if y>0y>0
:. For ln (sin^-1x) to be defined we must have
sin^-1x>0
Also sin^-1x is only defined in the interval [-1,1]
and sin^-1x >0 for x in (0,1]
:. The domain of f (x) is x in (0,1]
And as sin^-1y and lny are increasing functions
:. The range of f (x) will be (-∞,ln(pi/2)]
