Correct answer: A

  1. We need the domain of f(x)=ln⁡(2x−35+4x)+sin⁡−1(4+3x2−x).f(x)=\ln\left(\frac{2x-3}{5+4x}\right)+\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4+3x}{2-x}\right).f(x)=ln(5+4x2x−3​)+sin−1(2−x4+3x​).

The domain is the intersection of the domains of both parts.


  1. Domain from the logarithmic term ln⁡(2x−35+4x)\ln\left(\frac{2x-3}{5+4x}\right)ln(5+4x2x−3​) requires 2x−35+4x>0,\frac{2x-3}{5+4x}>0,5+4x2x−3​>0, and also 5+4x≠05+4x\neq 05+4x=0.

Critical points are: 2x−3=0⇒x=32,2x-3=0 \Rightarrow x=\frac32,2x−3=0⇒x=23​, 5+4x=0⇒x=−54.5+4x=0 \Rightarrow x=-\frac54.5+4x=0⇒x=−45​.

Now check sign intervals:

  • For x<−54x< -\frac54x<−45​: numerator 2x−3<02x-3<02x−3<0, denominator 5+4x<05+4x<05+4x<0, so ratio >0>0>0.
  • For −54<x<32-\frac54 < x < \frac32−45​<x<23​: numerator <0<0<0, denominator >0>0>0, so ratio <0<0<0.
  • For x>32x>\frac32x>23​: numerator >0>0>0, denominator >0>0>0, so ratio >0>0>0.

Hence log-domain is (−∞,−54)∪(32,∞).(-\infty,-\tfrac54)\cup(\tfrac32,\infty).(−∞,−45​)∪(23​,∞).


  1. Domain from the inverse sine term sin⁡−1(4+3x2−x)\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4+3x}{2-x}\right)sin−1(2−x4+3x​) requires −1≤4+3x2−x≤1,-1\le \frac{4+3x}{2-x}\le 1,−1≤2−x4+3x​≤1, with x≠2x\ne 2x=2.

So solve both inequalities.

(i) Solve

4+3x2−x≤1\frac{4+3x}{2-x}\le 12−x4+3x​≤1 4+3x−(2−x)2−x≤0\frac{4+3x-(2-x)}{2-x}\le 02−x4+3x−(2−x)​≤0 2+4x2−x≤0\frac{2+4x}{2-x}\le 02−x2+4x​≤0 1+2x2−x≤0.\frac{1+2x}{2-x}\le 0.2−x1+2x​≤0. Critical points: x=−12,2x=-\frac12,2x=−21​,2. This gives x∈(−∞,−12]∪(2,∞)?x\in (-\infty,-\tfrac12]\cup(2,\infty)?x∈(−∞,−21​]∪(2,∞)? Let us check carefully by sign chart:

  • If x<−12x< -\frac12x<−21​: numerator 1+2x<01+2x<01+2x<0, denominator 2−x>02-x>02−x>0, ratio <0<0<0 ✅
  • If −12<x<2-\frac12 < x <2−21​<x<2: numerator >0>0>0, denominator >0>0>0, ratio >0>0>0 ❌
  • If x>2x>2x>2: numerator >0>0>0, denominator <0<0<0, ratio <0<0<0 ✅

Thus 1+2x2−x≤0⇒x∈(−∞,−12]∪(2,∞).\frac{1+2x}{2-x}\le 0 \Rightarrow x\in(-\infty,-\tfrac12]\cup(2,\infty).2−x1+2x​≤0⇒x∈(−∞,−21​]∪(2,∞).

(ii) Solve

4+3x2−x≥−1\frac{4+3x}{2-x}\ge -12−x4+3x​≥−1 4+3x+(2−x)2−x≥0\frac{4+3x+(2-x)}{2-x}\ge 02−x4+3x+(2−x)​≥0 6+2x2−x≥0\frac{6+2x}{2-x}\ge 02−x6+2x​≥0 x+32−x≥0.\frac{x+3}{2-x}\ge 0.2−xx+3​≥0. Critical points: x=−3,2x=-3,2x=−3,2.

Sign chart:

  • If x<−3x<-3x<−3: numerator <0<0<0, denominator >0>0>0, ratio <0<0<0 ❌
  • If −3≤x<2-3\le x<2−3≤x<2: numerator ≥0\ge 0≥0, denominator >0>0>0, ratio ≥0\ge 0≥0 ✅
  • If x>2x>2x>2: numerator >0>0>0, denominator <0<0<0, ratio <0<0<0 ❌

Hence x+32−x≥0⇒x∈[−3,2).\frac{x+3}{2-x}\ge 0 \Rightarrow x\in[-3,2).2−xx+3​≥0⇒x∈[−3,2).

Intersecting (i) and (ii): ((−∞,−12]∪(2,∞))∩[−3,2)=[−3,−12].\left(( -\infty,-\tfrac12]\cup(2,\infty)\right)\cap[-3,2)=[-3,-\tfrac12].((−∞,−21​]∪(2,∞))∩[−3,2)=[−3,−21​].

So the arcsin-domain is [−3,−12].[-3,-\tfrac12].[−3,−21​].


  1. Intersect both domains:

Log-domain: (−∞,−54)∪(32,∞)(-\infty,-\tfrac54)\cup(\tfrac32,\infty)(−∞,−45​)∪(23​,∞) Arcsin-domain: [−3,−12].[-3,-\tfrac12].[−3,−21​].

Therefore common domain is [−3,−54).[-3,-\tfrac54).[−3,−45​).

So α=−3,β=−54.\alpha=-3,\qquad \beta=-\frac54.α=−3,β=−45​.


  1. Compute α2+4β=(−3)2+4(−54)=9−5=4.\alpha^2+4\beta=(-3)^2+4\left(-\frac54\right)=9-5=4.α2+4β=(−3)2+4(−45​)=9−5=4.

Thus the correct option is 4.\boxed{4}.4​.
