If the domain of the function log5(18x–x2–77) is (α,β) and the domain of the function log(x–1)(2x2+3x–2x2–3x–4) is (γ,δ), then α2+β2+γ2 is equal to : [2025]
(3)
Let f1(x)=log5(18x–x2–77)
∴ 18x–x2–77>0
⇒ x2–18x+77<0
⇒ (x–11)(x–7)<0
⇒ x∈(7,11) ∴ α=7, β=11
Also, let f2(x)=log(x–1)(2x2+3x–2x2–3x–4)
∴ x–1>0 ⇒x>1, x–1≠1 ⇒ x≠2,
2x2+3x–2x2–3x–4>0 ⇒ (2x–1)(x+2)(x–4)(x+1)>0
⇒ x∈(4,∞) ∴ γ=4
Now, α2+β2+γ2 = 49 + 121 + 16 = 186.
