Given the inequality:
log(x)≥1To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
log(x)=1Solve:
Given the equation
log(x)=1log(x)=1This equation is of the form:
log(v)=p
By definition log
v=e^p
then
x=e1−1simplify
x=ex1=ex1=eThis roots
x1=eis the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
x0≤x1For example, let's take the point
x0=x1−101=
−101+e=
−101+esubstitute to the expression
log(x)≥1log(−101+e)≥1log(-1/10 + E) >= 1
but
log(-1/10 + E) < 1
Then
x≤eno execute
the solution of our inequality is:
x≥e _____
