Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • [b] For the validity of inequality $ ax^{2}+4x+a>0, $
    which is possible if a>0 and $ 16-4a^{2}<0 $
    $ \Rightarrow a>2 $ ?. (1) Further, the inequality can be rewritten as $ {\log_5}5+{\log_5}(x^{2}+1)\le log_5(ax^{2}+4x+a) $

$ \Rightarrow 5(x^{2}+1)\le ax^{2}+4x+a $

$ \Rightarrow (a-5)x^{2}+4x+(a-5)\ge 0. $
It holds if $ a-5>0 $ and $ 16-4{{(a-5)}^{2}}\le 0 $

$ \Rightarrow a>5 $ And $ a\le 3 $ or $ a\ge 7\Rightarrow a\ge 7 $ ? (2) Combining the results of (1) and (2) for common values, we get $ a\in [7,\infty ) $
