Correct answer: C

  1. Given function

f(x)=sin⁡−1([2x2−3])+log⁡2(log⁡1/2(x2−5x+5))f(x)=\sin^{-1}\big([2x^2-3]\big)+\log_2\left(\log_{1/2}(x^2-5x+5)\right)f(x)=sin−1([2x2−3])+log2​(log1/2​(x2−5x+5))

We need the domain of f(x)f(x)f(x).

So both parts must be defined:

  • sin⁡−1([2x2−3])\sin^{-1}([2x^2-3])sin−1([2x2−3]) must exist
  • log⁡2(log⁡1/2(x2−5x+5))\log_2\left(\log_{1/2}(x^2-5x+5)\right)log2​(log1/2​(x2−5x+5)) must exist

  1. Condition from the inverse sine term

For sin⁡−1(y)\sin^{-1}(y)sin−1(y) to be defined,

−1≤y≤1-1 \le y \le 1−1≤y≤1

Here,

y=[2x2−3]y=[2x^2-3]y=[2x2−3]

Since [2x2−3][2x^2-3][2x2−3] is an integer, the only possible integer values between −1-1−1 and 111 are:

−1,0,1-1,0,1−1,0,1

Thus,

−1≤2x2−3<2-1 \le 2x^2-3 < 2−1≤2x2−3<2

because [t]∈{−1,0,1}[t]\in\{-1,0,1\}[t]∈{−1,0,1} means

−1≤t<2-1 \le t < 2−1≤t<2

So,

−1≤2x2−3<2-1 \le 2x^2-3 < 2−1≤2x2−3<2

Add 333:

2≤2x2<52 \le 2x^2 < 52≤2x2<5

Divide by 222:

1≤x2<521 \le x^2 < \frac521≤x2<25​

Hence,

x∈(−52,−1]∪[1,52)x\in \left(-\sqrt{\frac52},-1\right]\cup\left[1,\sqrt{\frac52}\right)x∈(−25​​,−1]∪[1,25​​)


  1. Condition from the logarithmic term

We need

log⁡2(log⁡1/2(x2−5x+5))\log_2\left(\log_{1/2}(x^2-5x+5)\right)log2​(log1/2​(x2−5x+5))

to be defined.

For outer logarithm log⁡2(u)\log_2(u)log2​(u), we need

u>0u>0u>0

So,

log⁡1/2(x2−5x+5)>0\log_{1/2}(x^2-5x+5)>0log1/2​(x2−5x+5)>0

Now base 12\frac1221​ is between 000 and 111, so log⁡1/2(t)>0\log_{1/2}(t)>0log1/2​(t)>0 implies

0<t<10<t<10<t<1

Therefore,

0<x2−5x+5<10<x^2-5x+5<10<x2−5x+5<1

This gives two inequalities:

(i) x2−5x+5>0x^2-5x+5>0x2−5x+5>0

Roots of x2−5x+5=0x^2-5x+5=0x2−5x+5=0 are

x=5±52x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt5}{2}x=25±5​​

Since the parabola opens upward,

x2−5x+5>0  ⟺  x<5−52orx>5+52x^2-5x+5>0 \iff x<\frac{5-\sqrt5}{2} \quad \text{or} \quad x>\frac{5+\sqrt5}{2}x2−5x+5>0⟺x<25−5​​orx>25+5​​

(ii) x2−5x+5<1x^2-5x+5<1x2−5x+5<1

x2−5x+4<0x^2-5x+4<0x2−5x+4<0

(x−1)(x−4)<0 (x-1)(x-4)<0(x−1)(x−4)<0

So,

1<x<41<x<41<x<4

Now intersect (i) and (ii):

1<x<41<x<41<x<4

with

x<5−52orx>5+52x<\frac{5-\sqrt5}{2} \quad \text{or} \quad x>\frac{5+\sqrt5}{2}x<25−5​​orx>25+5​​

Since

5−52≈1.382,5+52≈3.618\frac{5-\sqrt5}{2}\approx 1.382, \qquad \frac{5+\sqrt5}{2}\approx 3.61825−5​​≈1.382,25+5​​≈3.618

we get

x∈(1,5−52)∪(5+52,4)x\in\left(1,\frac{5-\sqrt5}{2}\right)\cup\left(\frac{5+\sqrt5}{2},4\right)x∈(1,25−5​​)∪(25+5​​,4)


  1. Intersect both domain conditions

From inverse sine:

x∈(−52,−1]∪[1,52)x\in \left(-\sqrt{\frac52},-1\right]\cup\left[1,\sqrt{\frac52}\right)x∈(−25​​,−1]∪[1,25​​)

From logarithm:

x∈(1,5−52)∪(5+52,4)x\in\left(1,\frac{5-\sqrt5}{2}\right)\cup\left(\frac{5+\sqrt5}{2},4\right)x∈(1,25−5​​)∪(25+5​​,4)

Now,

52≈1.581\sqrt{\frac52}\approx 1.58125​​≈1.581

So only the interval

(1,5−52)\left(1,\frac{5-\sqrt5}{2}\right)(1,25−5​​)

lies inside [1,52)\left[1,\sqrt{\frac52}\right)[1,25​​).

The interval (5+52,4)\left(\frac{5+\sqrt5}{2},4\right)(25+5​​,4) does not intersect because

5+52>52\frac{5+\sqrt5}{2}>\sqrt{\frac52}25+5​​>25​​

Hence the final domain is

(1,5−52)\boxed{\left(1,\frac{5-\sqrt5}{2}\right)}(1,25−5​​)​


  1. Match with options

This is Option C.
