1.

The range of the function is `f(x)=log_5(25-x^2)` isA. `[0, 5]`B. ` [0, 2)`C. ` (0, 2)`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Cleary, f(x) is defined, if
`25-x^(2) gt 0 rArr - 5 lt x lt 5`
Now, let `y = log_(5) (25-x^(2))`. Then
`5^(y) = 25- x^(2) rArr - 5 lt x lt 5`
For x to real, we must have
`25-5^(y) ge 0 rArr 5^(y) le 25 rArr y le 2`
Also, `y =f(x) to - oo` as `x to pm5`.
Hence, range `(f) = (-oo,2]`
