Correct answer: D

  1. Simplify the trigonometric expression inside the logarithm

We need the range of

f(x)=log⁡5(3+cos⁡(3π4+x)+cos⁡(π4+x)+cos⁡(π4−x)−cos⁡(3π4−x)). f(x)=\log_{\sqrt5}\Big(3+\cos\left(\tfrac{3\pi}{4}+x\right)+\cos\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4}+x\right)+\cos\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4}-x\right)-\cos\left(\tfrac{3\pi}{4}-x\right)\Big).f(x)=log5​​(3+cos(43π​+x)+cos(4π​+x)+cos(4π​−x)−cos(43π​−x)).

Let

S=3+cos⁡(3π4+x)+cos⁡(π4+x)+cos⁡(π4−x)−cos⁡(3π4−x).S=3+\cos\left(\tfrac{3\pi}{4}+x\right)+\cos\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4}+x\right)+\cos\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4}-x\right)-\cos\left(\tfrac{3\pi}{4}-x\right).S=3+cos(43π​+x)+cos(4π​+x)+cos(4π​−x)−cos(43π​−x).

Now use

cos⁡(π4+x)+cos⁡(π4−x)=2cos⁡π4cos⁡x=2cos⁡x.\cos\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4}+x\right)+\cos\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4}-x\right)=2\cos\tfrac{\pi}{4}\cos x=\sqrt2\cos x.cos(4π​+x)+cos(4π​−x)=2cos4π​cosx=2​cosx.

Also,

cos⁡(3π4+x)−cos⁡(3π4−x)=−2sin⁡3π4+x+3π4−x2sin⁡3π4+x−(3π4−x)2\cos\left(\tfrac{3\pi}{4}+x\right)-\cos\left(\tfrac{3\pi}{4}-x\right) = -2\sin\tfrac{\tfrac{3\pi}{4}+x+\tfrac{3\pi}{4}-x}{2}\sin\tfrac{\tfrac{3\pi}{4}+x-(\tfrac{3\pi}{4}-x)}{2}cos(43π​+x)−cos(43π​−x)=−2sin243π​+x+43π​−x​sin243π​+x−(43π​−x)​ =−2sin⁡3π4sin⁡x=−2sin⁡x.= -2\sin\tfrac{3\pi}{4}\sin x = -\sqrt2\sin x.=−2sin43π​sinx=−2​sinx.

Hence,

S=3+2cos⁡x−2sin⁡x.S=3+\sqrt2\cos x-\sqrt2\sin x.S=3+2​cosx−2​sinx.

Now write

cos⁡x−sin⁡x=2cos⁡(x+π4).\cos x-\sin x=\sqrt2\cos\left(x+\tfrac{\pi}{4}\right).cosx−sinx=2​cos(x+4π​).

So,

2(cos⁡x−sin⁡x)=2cos⁡(x+π4).\sqrt2(\cos x-\sin x)=2\cos\left(x+\tfrac{\pi}{4}\right).2​(cosx−sinx)=2cos(x+4π​).

Therefore,

S=3+2cos⁡(x+π4).S=3+2\cos\left(x+\tfrac{\pi}{4}\right).S=3+2cos(x+4π​).
  1. Find the range of the logarithm argument

Since

−1≤cos⁡(x+π4)≤1,-1\le \cos\left(x+\tfrac{\pi}{4}\right)\le 1,−1≤cos(x+4π​)≤1,

we get

3−2≤S≤3+2.3-2\le S\le 3+2.3−2≤S≤3+2.

Thus,

1≤S≤5.1\le S\le 5.1≤S≤5.

So the argument of the logarithm varies in

[1,5].[1,5].[1,5].

This is valid since the logarithm argument is always positive.

  1. Find the range of the logarithmic function

Now

f(x)=log⁡5S,S∈[1,5].f(x)=\log_{\sqrt5} S, \qquad S\in[1,5].f(x)=log5​​S,S∈[1,5].

Since the base 5>1\sqrt5>15​>1, the logarithm is increasing. Therefore,

min⁡f(x)=log⁡5(1)=0,\min f(x)=\log_{\sqrt5}(1)=0,minf(x)=log5​​(1)=0, max⁡f(x)=log⁡5(5).\max f(x)=\log_{\sqrt5}(5).maxf(x)=log5​​(5).

Now,

log⁡5(5)=2\log_{\sqrt5}(5)=2log5​​(5)=2

because

(5)2=5.(\sqrt5)^2=5.(5​)2=5.

Hence the range is

[0,2].[0,2].[0,2].
  1. Check options
  • A: (0,5)(0,\sqrt5)(0,5​) — incorrect
  • B: [−2,2][-2,2][−2,2] — incorrect
  • C: [15,5]\left[\frac1{\sqrt5},\sqrt5\right][5​1​,5​] — incorrect
  • D: [0,2][0,2][0,2] — correct

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
