RULES/STEPS TO SOLVE INEQUALITY/EQUALITY

Image
RULES/STEPS TO SOLVE INEQUALITY/EQUALITY STEP 1. First find the values for which inequality/equality is defined (Let the solution be "A") STEP 2. Solve the inequality/equality ( Let the solution is "B") STEP 3. After solving the inequality take only those values from the solution which belong to "A" ( STEP 1 INTERVAL/SETS).                                                           OR Take the intersection of STEP 1 interval/sets and STEP 2 interval/sets that is

MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPTS if,     ,   ,  i) If   ,    ii) If    ,  why ????? take   increasing with increase in power, log is also increasing, with increase in the value of 'x' ( ) means, and  means,   is increasing with increase in the value of  "x",  if  Now, take  decreasing with increase in power decreasing with increase in value of x (  ) i.e.  i.e.   is decreasing with increase in value of "x" if  Thus, if,     ,   ,  i) If   ,    ii) If    ,  By Graph, we know, clearly from figure,  if,     ,   ,  i) If   ,    ii) If    ,  Example: first find the values of x for which the inequality is defined . STEP 1: (since  ,   ) or,  by wavy curvy, (previous post),   ........................................... (A) therefore inequality is defined in above interval, STEP 2: now solve the inequality, since base is greater than 1, log is increasing, we know for any base
