Q.

If the domain of the function

f(x)=loge(2x35+4x)+sin1(4+3x2x) is [α,β), then α2+4β

is equal to           [2025]

1 7  
2 5  
3 3  
4 4  

Ans.

(4)

We have, f(x)=loge(2x35+4x)+sin1(4+3x2x)

For f(x) to be defined we have,

2x35+4x>0 and |4+3x2x|1

Now, 2x35+4x>0

Case I : 2x – 3 > 0 and 5 + 4x > 0

 x > 3/2 and x > – 5/4

 x(3/2,)          ... (i)

Case II : 2x – 3 < 0 and 5 + 4x < 0

 x < 3/2 and x < – 5/4

 x(,5/4)          ... (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

x(,54)(32,)          ... (iii)

Also, |4+3x2x|1

 14+3x2x1  14+3x2x and 4+3x2x1

 04+3x2x+1 and 4+3x2x10

 06+2x2x and 2+4x2x0

 3x and x12, x2

 x[3,12]          ... (iv)

From (iii) and (iv), we get

x[3,54)

   α=3 and β=54

Thus, α2+4β=95=4..
