Domain of the function $\log |{x^2} - 9|$ is
- A
$R$
- B
$R - [ - 3,\;3]$
- ✓
$R - \{ - 3,\;3\} $
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $R - \{ - 3,\;3\} $
c
(c) For $x = - 3,\,\,3,\,\,\,|\,\,{x^2} - 9\,\,|\, = 0$
Therefore $\log \,|{x^2} - 9|\,$ does not exist at $x = - \,3,\,\,3.$
Hence domain of function is $R - \left\{ { - \,3,\,\,3} \right\}.$

- A
$5 $ and $ 4$
- B
$5$ and $-4$
- ✓
$-5$ and $4$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $-5$ and $4$
c
(c) $\frac{{{x^2} + 14x + 9}}{{{x^2} + 2x + 3}} = y$
==> ${x^2} + 14x + 9 = {x^2}y + 2xy + 3y$
==> ${x^2}(y - 1) + 2x(y - 7) + (3y - 9) = 0$
Since $x$ is real, $\therefore$ $4{(y - 7)^2} - 4(3y - 9)(y - 1) > 0$
==> $4({y^2} + 49 - 14y) - 4(3{y^2} + 9 - 12y) > 0$
==> $4{y^2} + 196 - 56y - 12{y^2} - 36 + 48y > 0$
==> $8{y^2} + 8y - 160 < 0$
==> ${y^2} + y - 20 < 0$
==> $(y + 5)(y - 4) < 0$; $y$ lies between $-5$ and $4.$

Domain of $f:$
We know that, $0 \leq \mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]<1$ for all $\mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}$
and $x-[x]=0$ for $x \in Z$
$\mathrm{So}, 0<\mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]<1$ for all $\mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$
Hence, domain of $\mathrm{f}=\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$
Range of $f:$
We have,
$0<\mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]<1 \text { for all } \mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$
$\Rightarrow 0<\sqrt{\mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]}<1$ for all $\mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$
$\Rightarrow 1<\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-|x|}}<\infty$ for all $x \in R-Z$
$\Rightarrow 1<\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})<\infty$ for all $\mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$
