If ln^2 x +3lnx -4 is non negative , then x must lie in the interval

@ganeshie8
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
see a quadratic sneaking in that ln expressions ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah
x^2 + 3x - 4
got that
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
use a different symbol for substitution

lnx = t
OpenStudy (anonymous):
t^2 + 3t + 4
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
question says that expression is non negative, right ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
t^2 + 3t + 4 >= 0
solve t
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes , does it mean positive

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
non negative means :
positive or 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
positive , means not 0
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohmm
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
0 is not included in positive numbers

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
0 is neither positive nor negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait solving
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i solved it actually but again i will wait
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
t^2 + 3t \(\color{red}{-}\) 4 >= 0

(t+4)(t-1) >= 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
argghhhh , yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sry my badd
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
still need to solve x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
e is one sollution

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
(t+4)(t-1) >= 0
t <= -4 OR t >= 1
yes ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
lnx <= -4 OR lnx >= 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so e is one sollution
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/e^4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you get infinitely many solutions
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how how how
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
lnx <= -4 OR lnx >= 1
x <= e^(-4) OR x >= e
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
all numbers greater than e are also solutions
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes infinite sollution

for example, x=10 is a solution
