Q.

If the domain of the function log5(18xx277) is (α,β) and the domain of the function log(x1)(2x2+3x2x23x4) is (γ,δ), then α2+β2+γ2 is equal to :          [2025]

1 195  
2 174  
3 186  
4 179  

Ans.

(3)

Let f1(x)=log5(18xx277)

  18xx277>0

 x218x+77<0

 (x11)(x7)<0

 x(7,11)      α=7, β=11

Also, let f2(x)=log(x1)(2x2+3x2x23x4)

  x1>0 x>1, x11  x2,

2x2+3x2x23x4>0  (2x1)(x+2)(x4)(x+1)>0

 x(4,)           γ=4

Now, α2+β2+γ2 = 49 + 121 + 16 = 186.
