Correct answer: 20
We need the domain of
f(x)=loge(2x−16x2+5x+1)+cos−1(3x−52x2−3x+4).
For the domain:
The logarithm requires
2x−16x2+5x+1>0.
The inverse cosine requires
−1≤3x−52x2−3x+4≤1,
and also 3x−5=0.
We find both conditions and intersect them.
1. Condition from the logarithm
We factor the numerator:
6x2+5x+1=(3x+1)(2x+1).
So we need
2x−1(3x+1)(2x+1)>0.
Critical points are
x=−31,−21,21.
Arrange them:
−21<−31<21.
Now check signs interval-wise:
For x<−21: expression is negative.
For −21<x<−31: expression is positive.
For −31<x<21: expression is negative.
For x>21: expression is positive.
Hence logarithm domain is
(−21,−31)∪(21,∞).
2. Condition from cos−1
We need
−1≤3x−52x2−3x+4≤1.
We solve the two inequalities separately.
(i) Solve
3x−52x2−3x+4≤1
Bring all terms to one side:
3x−52x2−3x+4−(3x−5)≤03x−52x2−6x+9≤0.
Now
2x2−6x+9=2(x−23)2+29>0for all x.
So the numerator is always positive. Therefore the fraction is ≤0 only when the denominator is negative:
3x−5<0⟹x<35.
Thus,
3x−52x2−3x+4≤1⟺x<35.
(ii) Solve
3x−52x2−3x+4≥−1
Bring all terms to one side:
3x−52x2−3x+4+(3x−5)≥03x−52x2−1≥0.
Factor numerator roots:
2x2−1=0⟹x=±21.
Critical points are
−21,21,35.
