The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = 1$$
$$x_{1} = 1$$
The points of intersection with the X-axis coordinate
Graph of the function intersects the axis X at f = 0
so we need to solve the equation:
$$\frac{\log{\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)}}{\log{\left(x \right)}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solution is not found,
it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect the axis X
so we need to solve the equation:
$$\frac{\log{\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)}}{\log{\left(x \right)}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solution is not found,
it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect the axis X

$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = $$

Let's find the inflection points, we'll need to solve the equation for this
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the second derivative
$$\frac{\left(1 + \frac{2}{\log{\left(x \right)}}\right) \log{\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)}}{x^{2} \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The roots of this equation
$$x_{1} = e^{-2}$$
You also need to calculate the limits of y '' for arguments seeking to indeterminate points of a function:
Points where there is an indetermination:
$$x_{1} = 1$$
$$\lim_{x \to 1^-}\left(\frac{\left(1 + \frac{2}{\log{\left(x \right)}}\right) \log{\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)}}{x^{2} \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}\right) = \infty$$
$$\lim_{x \to 1^+}\left(\frac{\left(1 + \frac{2}{\log{\left(x \right)}}\right) \log{\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)}}{x^{2} \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}\right) = -\infty$$
