Q.

If the domain of the function f(x)=sec-1(2x5x+3) is [α,β)∪(γ,δ], then |3α+10(β+γ)+21δ| is equal to ______ .           [2023]


Ans.

(24)

Given f(x)=sec-1(2x5x+3)

So, 2x5x+3≥1

⇒2x5x+3-1≥0⇒-3x-35x+3≥0

⇒x+15x+3≤0⇒x∈[-1, -35)

Now, 2x5x+3≤-1⇒2x5x+3+1≤0

⇒7x+35x+3≤0 ⇒x∈(-35,-37]

∴ x∈[-1,-35)∪(-35,-37]

α=-1, β=-35, γ=-35, δ=-37

So, |3α+10(β+γ)+21δ|

=|3×(-1)+10(-35-35)+21×(-37)|=|-3-12-9|=24
