Functions Question 416

Question: The domain of the real valued function $ f(x)=\sqrt{5-4x-x^{2}}+x^{2}\log (x+4) $ is

Options:

A) $ (-5,1) $

B) $ -5\le xandx\ge 1 $

C) $ ( -4,1 ] $

D) $ \phi $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ f(x)=\sqrt{5-4x-x^{2}}+x^{2}\log (x+4) $
$ \Rightarrow 5-4x-x^{2}\ge 0,x+4>0 $
$ \Rightarrow (x+5)(x-1)\le 0,x>-4 $
$ \Rightarrow -5\le x\le 1,x>-4\Rightarrow -4<x\le 1. $
