    Domain of the function \[f(x)=\sqrt{lo{{g}_{0.5}}(3x-8)-lo{{g}_{0.5}}({{x}^{2}}+4)}\]is

    A) \[\left( \frac{8}{3},\infty  \right)\]             

    B) \[\left( -\infty ,\frac{8}{3} \right)\]       

    C) \[\left( -\infty ,\infty  \right)\]                    

    D) \[\left( 0,\infty  \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Since \[{{x}^{2}}+4>0\]for each real x. \[\therefore \]We must have \[3x-8>0,i.e.,x>\frac{8}{3}\] and \[lo{{g}_{0.5}}\left( \frac{3x-8}{{{x}^{2}}+4} \right)\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow 0<\frac{3x-8}{{{x}^{2}}+4}\le 1\Rightarrow 0<3x\le {{x}^{2}}+4\]                     \[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-3x+12\ge 0\] Now, \[{{x}^{2}}-3x+12={{\left( x-\frac{3}{2} \right)}^{2}}+12-\frac{9}{4}={{\left( x-\frac{3}{2} \right)}^{2}}+\frac{39}{4}>0,\forall x\in R\]\[\therefore \]Domain is \[\left( \frac{8}{3},\infty  \right)\] Hence, option [a] is correct.
