Given the inequality:
log(x)<2To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
log(x)=2Solve:
Given the equation
log(x)=2log(x)=2This equation is of the form:
log(v)=p
By definition log
v=e^p
then
x=e12simplify
x=e2x1=e2x1=e2This roots
x1=e2is 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+e2=
−101+e2substitute to the expression
log(x)<2log(−101+e2)<2 / 1 2\
log|- -- + e | < 2
\ 10 /
the solution of our inequality is:
x<e2 _____
