Correct answer: C

  1. Given function
f(x)=log⁡x+1(x−2)e2log⁡ex−(2x+3),x∈R f(x)=\frac{\log_{x+1}(x-2)}{e^{2\log_e x}-(2x+3)}, \quad x\in \mathbb Rf(x)=e2loge​x−(2x+3)logx+1​(x−2)​,x∈R

We need the domain of this function.


  1. Condition for the logarithm

For log⁡x+1(x−2)\log_{x+1}(x-2)logx+1​(x−2) to be defined, we need:

  • Argument x−2>0⇒x>2x-2>0 \Rightarrow x>2x−2>0⇒x>2
  • Base x+1>0⇒x>−1x+1>0 \Rightarrow x>-1x+1>0⇒x>−1
  • Base x+1≠1⇒x≠0x+1\neq 1 \Rightarrow x\neq 0x+1=1⇒x=0

Combining these:

x>2x>2x>2

already ensures x>−1x>-1x>−1 and x≠0x\neq 0x=0. So the logarithmic part requires

x>2.x>2.x>2.


  1. Condition for the exponential denominator

Denominator must be nonzero:

e2log⁡ex−(2x+3)≠0e^{2\log_e x}-(2x+3)\neq 0e2loge​x−(2x+3)=0

Also, since log⁡ex\log_e xloge​x appears, we must have

x>0.x>0.x>0.

But this is already satisfied by x>2x>2x>2.

Now simplify:

e2log⁡ex=elog⁡ex2=x2e^{2\log_e x}=e^{\log_e x^2}=x^2e2loge​x=eloge​x2=x2

More directly,

2log⁡ex=log⁡ex2(x>0),2\log_e x=\log_e x^2 \quad (x>0),2loge​x=loge​x2(x>0),

so

e2log⁡ex=x2.e^{2\log_e x}=x^2.e2loge​x=x2.

Thus denominator becomes

x2−(2x+3)=x2−2x−3=(x−3)(x+1).x^2-(2x+3)=x^2-2x-3=(x-3)(x+1).x2−(2x+3)=x2−2x−3=(x−3)(x+1).

For denominator nonzero:

(x−3)(x+1)≠0⇒x≠3,−1.(x-3)(x+1)\neq 0 \Rightarrow x\neq 3,-1.(x−3)(x+1)=0⇒x=3,−1.

But from x>2x>2x>2, only x=3x=3x=3 is relevant.


  1. Combine all conditions

From logarithm: x>2x>2x>2

From denominator: x≠3x\neq 3x=3

Hence domain is

(2,∞)−{3}.(2,\infty)-\{3\}.(2,∞)−{3}.


  1. Check options
  • A: (−1,∞)−{3}(-1,\infty)-\{3\}(−1,∞)−{3} ❌ includes values between −1-1−1 and 222 where x−2≤0x-2\le 0x−2≤0
  • B: R−{−1,3)\mathbb R-\{-1,3)R−{−1,3) ❌ invalid and does not match conditions
  • C: (2,∞)−{3}(2,\infty)-\{3\}(2,∞)−{3} ✅ correct
  • D: R−{3}\mathbb R-\{3\}R−{3} ❌ includes values where logarithm is undefined

  1. Final answer

(2,∞)−{3}\boxed{(2,\infty)-\{3\}}(2,∞)−{3}​

So the correct option is C.
