l o g x ( 2 x ) + l o g 2 ( x ) ⩾ 3
l o g x ( 2 ) + l o g x ( x ) + l o g 2 ( x ) ⩾ 3
l o g x ( 2 ) + 1 + l o g 2 ( x ) ⩾ 3
l o g x ( 2 ) + l o g 2 ( x ) ⩾ 2
l o g x l o g 2 + l o g 2 l o g x ⩾ 2
l o g x l o g 2 ( l o g 2 ) 2 + ( l o g x ) 2 ⩾ 2
now a=log x and b=log 2
a b a 2 + b 2 ⩾ 2
if a>0 then x > 1 and
a 2 + b 2 ⩾ 2 a b
if a<0 then 0<x<1 and
a 2 + b 2 ⩽ 2 a b
continuing with a>0
a 2 + b 2 − 2 a b ⩾ 0
( a − b ) 2 ⩾ 0
therefore for a>0 a can be anything (and requires x>1)
but for a<0 a cannot be real
therefore the domain of x is (1, +inf)
