Let the domains of the functions f(x)=log4log3 log7(8–log2(x2+4x+5)) and g(x)=sin–1(7x+10x–2) be (α,β) and [γ,δ], respectively. Then α2+β2+γ2+δ2 is equal to : [2025]
(3)
We have,
f(x)=log4log3log7(8–log2(x2+4x+5))
For f(x) to be defined we need,
log3log7(8–log2(x2+4x+5))>0
⇒log7(8–log2(x2+4x+5))>1
⇒ 8–log2(x2+4x+5)>7
⇒ log2(x2+4x+5)<1
⇒ x2+4x+5<2
⇒ x2+4x+3<0
⇒ (x+1)(x+3)<0
⇒ x∈(–3,–1) i.e., α=–3, β=–1 ... (i)
Also, x2+4x+5>0, but D=16–20=–4<0
Also, we have g(x)=sin–1(7x+10x–2)
⇒ –1≤7x+10x–2≤1 ⇒ –1≤7(x–2)+24x–2≤1
⇒ –8≤24x–2≤–6 ⇒ 1–6≤x–224≤1–8
⇒ –4≤x–2≤–3 ⇒ –2≤x≤–1
⇒ x∈[–2,–1] i.e., γ=–2, δ=–1
∴ α2+β2+γ2+δ2=(–3)2+(–1)2+(–2)2+(–1)2=15
