We are given:
\(f(x)=\frac{\sqrt{{x}^{2}-25}}{4-{x}^{2}}+{\log }_{10}\left({x}^{2}+2x-15\right)\)
We are told the domain is:
\((-\infty ,\alpha )\cup [\beta ,\infty )\)
We need to find:
\({\alpha }^{2}+{\beta }^{3}\)
Step-by-step (short):
1. Square root condition:
\(\sqrt{{x}^{2}-25}\text{ is defined when }{x}^{2}-25\geq 0\Rightarrow x\leq -5\text{ or }x\geq 5\)
2. Denominator condition:
\(4-{x}^{2}\neq 0\Rightarrow x\neq \pm 2\)
3. Log condition:
\({\log }_{10}\left({x}^{2}+2x-15\right)\text{ defined when }{x}^{2}+2x-15>0\)
Factor:
\((x+5)(x-3)>0\Rightarrow x<-5\text{ or }x>3\)
Now combine all conditions:
- Square root: \(x \leq-5\) or \(x \geq 5\)
- Log: \(x<-5\) or \(x>3\)
- Denominator: \(x \neq \pm 2\)
So:
- For left side: \(x<-5\)
- For right side: Must satisfy \(x \geq 5\) and \(x>3 \Rightarrow x \geq 5\)
Hence, domain is:
\((-\infty ,-5)\cup [5,\infty )\Rightarrow \alpha =-5,\beta =5\)
Now calculate:
\[
\alpha^2+\beta^3=(-5)^2+(5)^3=25+125=150
\]
Final Answer:
(c) 150
