Q.

Let the domain of the function f(x)=cos–1(4x+53x–7) be [α,β] and the domain of g(x)=log2(2–6 log27(2x+5)) be (γ,δ). Then |7(α+β)+4(γ+δ)| is equal to __________.         [2025]

We have, f(x)=cos–1(4x+53x–7)

Since, domain of cos—1x is [–1, 1].

∴ –1≤4x+53x–7≤1

For, 4x+53x–7≥–1 ⇒ 4x+5+3x–73x–7≥0

⇒ 7x–23x–7≥0 ⇒x∈(–∞,27]∪(73,∞)           ... (i)

Now, for 4x+53x–7≤1 ⇒ 4x+5–3x+73x–7≤0

⇒ x+123x–7≤0 ⇒x∈[–12,73)           ... (ii)

On combining (i) and (ii), we get domain of f(x) is [–12,27].

∴ α=–12 and β=27

Now, g(x)=log2(2–6 log27(2x+5))

For g(x) to be defined, we have

2–6 log27(2x+5)>0 ⇒ 6 log27(2x+5)<2

⇒ log27(2x+5)<13 ⇒ (2x+5)<(27)13

⇒ 2x+5<3 ⇒ 2x<–2 ⇒ x<–1

Also, 2x + 5 > 0          [For log27(2x+5) to be defined]

⇒ x>–52

∴  Domain of g(x) is (–52,–1)          ∴  γ=–52 and δ=–1

∴ |7(α+β)+4(γ+δ)|=|7(–12+27)+4(–52–1)|

                                                                =|–82–14|=96
