A very important property that one should know before proceeding with the problem
If lo g c d > lo g c f and d < f , then it can be easily inferred that the base c is less than 1 .
Substituting x = 9 4 in the inequation, we get
lo g a 8 1 1 4 2 > lo g a 8 1 2 9 9
⇒ a ∈ ( 0 , 1 )
So when we remove the logarithm the inequality is reversed.
x 2 − x + 2 < − x 2 + 2 x + 3 ⇒ 2 x 2 − 3 x − 1 < 0
The solution set to the above inequality is x ∈ ( 4 3 − 1 7 , 4 3 + 1 7 ) … ( 1 )
But we simply cannot conclude this is possible without checking the domains of the logarithms in the R.H.S and L.H.S
For the R.H.S logarithm to exist,
− x 2 + 2 x + 3 > 0 ⇒ x 2 − 2 x − 3 < 0 ⇒ x ∈ ( − 1 , 3 ) … ( 2 )
For the L.H.S logarithm to exist,
x 2 − x + 2 > 0 ⇒ ( x − 2 1 ) 2 + 4 7 > 0 ⇒ x ∈ R … ( 3 )
Considering the intersection of ( 1 ) , ( 2 ) & ( 3 ) , we get
x ∈ ( 4 3 − 1 7 , 4 3 + 1 7 ) ⇒ x ∈ ( − 0 . 2 8 0 , 1 . 7 8 0 )
The integral values of x in the given interval are 0 , 1
Sum of the values is 1
