In previous lessons, we got acquainted with logarithmic equations and now we know what they are and how to solve them. And today's lesson will be devoted to the study of logarithmic inequalities. What are these inequalities and what is the difference between solving a logarithmic equation and inequalities?
Logarithmic inequalities are inequalities that have a variable under the sign of the logarithm or at its base.
Or, one can also say that a logarithmic inequality is an inequality in which its unknown value, as in the logarithmic equation, will be under the sign of the logarithm.
The simplest logarithmic inequalities look like this:
where f(x) and g(x) are some expressions that depend on x.
Let's look at this using the following example: f(x)=1+2x+x2, g(x)=3x−1.
Before solving logarithmic inequalities, it is worth noting that when they are solved, they are similar to exponential inequalities, namely:
First, when moving from logarithms to expressions under the sign of the logarithm, we also need to compare the base of the logarithm with one;
Secondly, when solving a logarithmic inequality using a change of variables, we need to solve inequalities with respect to the change until we get the simplest inequality.
But it was we who considered the similar moments of solving logarithmic inequalities. Now let's look at a rather significant difference. You and I know that the logarithmic function has a limited domain of definition, so when moving from logarithms to expressions that are under the sign of the logarithm, you need to take into account the range of acceptable values (ODV).
That is, it should be borne in mind that when solving a logarithmic equation, we can first find the roots of the equation, and then check this solution. But solving the logarithmic inequality will not work this way, since moving from logarithms to expressions under the sign of the logarithm, it will be necessary to write down the ODZ of the inequality.
In addition, it is worth remembering that the theory of inequalities consists of real numbers, which are positive and negative numbers, as well as the number 0.
For example, when the number "a" is positive, then the following notation must be used: a > 0. In this case, both the sum and the product of such these numbers will also be positive.
The basic principle of solving an inequality is to replace it with a simpler inequality, but the main thing is that it be equivalent to the given one. Further, we also obtained an inequality and again replaced it with one that has a simpler form, and so on.
Solving inequalities with a variable, you need to find all its solutions. If two inequalities have the same variable x, then such inequalities are equivalent, provided that their solutions are the same.
When performing tasks for solving logarithmic inequalities, it is necessary to remember that when a > 1, then the logarithmic function increases, and when 0< a < 1, то такая функция имеет свойство убывать. Эти свойства вам будут необходимы при решении логарифмических неравенств, поэтому вы их должны хорошо знать и помнить.
Now let's look at some of the methods that take place when solving logarithmic inequalities. For a better understanding and assimilation, we will try to understand them using specific examples.
We know that the simplest logarithmic inequality has the following form:
In this inequality, V - is one of such inequality signs as:<,>, ≤ or ≥.
When the base of this logarithm is greater than one (a>1), making the transition from logarithms to expressions under the sign of the logarithm, then in this version the inequality sign is preserved, and the inequality will look like this:
which is equivalent to the following system:
