The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \( \log_{(1-x)}(x-2) \geq -1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Inequality We start with the given inequality: \[ \log_{(1-x)}(x-2) \geq -1 \] This can be rewritten using the property of logarithms: \[ \log_{(1-x)}(x-2) + 1 \geq 0 \] This implies: \[ \log_{(1-x)}(x-2) \geq -1 \] ### Step 2: Convert the Logarithmic Inequality Using the definition of logarithms, we can convert the logarithmic inequality: \[ \log_{(1-x)}(x-2) \geq -1 \implies x-2 \geq (1-x)^{-1} \] This means: \[ x-2 \geq \frac{1}{1-x} \] ### Step 3: Multiply Both Sides by \( (1-x) \) To eliminate the fraction, we multiply both sides by \( (1-x) \). However, we must consider the sign of \( (1-x) \): 1. If \( 1-x > 0 \) (i.e., \( x < 1 \)), the inequality remains the same. 2. If \( 1-x < 0 \) (i.e., \( x > 1 \)), the inequality reverses. Thus, we have two cases to consider. ### Case 1: \( x < 1 \) \[ (x-2)(1-x) \geq 1 \] Expanding this gives: \[ -x^2 + 3x - 2 \geq 1 \implies -x^2 + 3x - 3 \geq 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 - 3x + 3 \leq 0 \] Now we find the roots of the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 3x + 3 = 0 \) using the discriminant: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = 3^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 = 9 - 12 = -3 \] Since the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots, and the quadratic is always positive. Therefore, there are no solutions in this case. ### Case 2: \( x > 1 \) In this case, we reverse the inequality: \[ (x-2)(1-x) \leq 1 \] Expanding gives: \[ -x^2 + 3x - 2 \leq 1 \implies -x^2 + 3x - 3 \leq 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 - 3x + 3 \geq 0 \] Again, the discriminant is negative, indicating that this quadratic is always positive. Therefore, there are no solutions in this case either. ### Step 4: Check the Domain of the Logarithm For the logarithm to be defined, we need: 1. \( x - 2 > 0 \) which gives \( x > 2 \) 2. \( 1 - x > 0 \) which gives \( x < 1 \) 3. \( 1 - x \neq 1 \) which gives \( x \neq 0 \) ### Conclusion Combining these conditions, we find that: - \( x > 2 \) contradicts \( x < 1 \). Thus, there are no values of \( x \) that satisfy all conditions. The solution set is empty: \[ \text{Solution: } \emptyset \]

To solve the inequality \( \log_{(1-x)}(x-2) \geq -1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Inequality We start with the given inequality: \[ \log_{(1-x)}(x-2) \geq -1 \] This can be rewritten using the property of logarithms: ...
