Q.

If the domain of the function f(x)=log7(1log4(x29x+18)) is (α,β)(γ,δ), then α+β+γ+δ is equal to          [2025]

1 18  
2 15  
3 16  
4 17  

Ans.

(1)

For f(x) to be defined we have,

1log4(x29x+18)>0 i.e., x29x+18<4

Also, x29x+18>0

 (x3)(x6)>0

 x(,3)(6,)          ... (i)

Now, x29x+18<4

 x29x+14<0

 (x2)(x7)<0

 x(2,7)          ... (ii)

From equation (i) & (ii), we get

x(2,3)(6,7)=(α,β)(γ,δ)          [Given]

Hence, α+β+γ+δ=2+3+6+7=18.
