log(4)*x<0 inequation

A inequation with variable

The solution

You have entered [src]
log(4)*x < 0
$$x \log{\left(4 \right)} < 0$$
x*log(4) < 0
Detail solution
Given the inequality:
$$x \log{\left(4 \right)} < 0$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$x \log{\left(4 \right)} = 0$$
Solve:
Given the linear equation:
log(4)*x = 0

Expand brackets in the left part
log4x = 0

Divide both parts of the equation by log(4)
x = 0 / (log(4))

$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{1} = 0$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = 0$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10}$$
substitute to the expression
$$x \log{\left(4 \right)} < 0$$
$$\frac{\left(-1\right) \log{\left(4 \right)}}{10} < 0$$
