First, you need to create matching bases to both
logarithms:
log a (x) = log b (x)/log b
(a)
log3(x) = log2(x)/log2 (3) => log2(x) =
log3(x)*log2 (3)
The inequality will
become:
log3(x)*log2 (3) -
log3(4x-5)
But log2 (3) = lg3/lg2 =
0.4771/0.3010=1.585
1.585log3(x) - log3(4x-5) >
1
log3 (x^1.585) - log3(4x-5) >
1
Since the bases are matching, we'll use quotient
rule:
log3 (x^1.585/(4x-5)) >
1
We'll write 1 as log3
(3)
x^1.585/(4x-5) >
3
(x^1.585 - 12x + 15)/(4x-5) >
0
Both numerator and denominator must be positive or
negative, to keep the fraction positive.
The denominator is
positive for x>5/4
