MCQ
The domain of the function $\cos ^{-1}\left(\log _2\left(x^2+5 x+8\right)\right)$ is
  • A
    [2,3]
  • B
    [-2,2]
  • C
    [3,1]
  • [-3,-2]

Answer

Correct option: D.
[-3,-2]
(D)
$-1 \leq \log _2\left(x^2+5 x+8\right)<1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \leq\left(x^2+5 x+8\right) \leq 2$
$\Rightarrow x^2+5 x+\frac{15}{2} \geq 0$
$\Rightarrow x^2+2\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) x+\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2-\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2+\frac{15}{2} \geq 0$
$\Rightarrow\left(x+\frac{5}{2}\right)^2+\frac{5}{4} \geq 0$ and $x^2+5 x+6 \leq 0$
$\Rightarrow(x+3)(x+2) \leq 0$
$\Rightarrow x \in[-3,-2]$
