The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \( \log_{0.6} \left( \log_{6} \left( \frac{x^2 + x}{x + 4} \right) \right) < 0 \), we will break it down into steps. ### Step 1: Understand the Logarithmic Inequality The inequality \( \log_{0.6}(A) < 0 \) implies that \( A > 1 \) since the base \( 0.6 < 1 \) reverses the inequality. Therefore, we need to solve: \[ \log_{6} \left( \frac{x^2 + x}{x + 4} \right) > 1 \] ### Step 2: Exponentiate to Remove the Logarithm Exponentiating both sides with base 6 gives: \[ \frac{x^2 + x}{x + 4} > 6^1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{x^2 + x}{x + 4} > 6 \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the Inequality To solve the inequality, we can rearrange it: \[ x^2 + x > 6(x + 4) \] Expanding the right side: \[ x^2 + x > 6x + 24 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 - 5x - 24 > 0 \] ### Step 4: Factor the Quadratic Expression Now, we will factor the quadratic: \[ x^2 - 5x - 24 = (x - 8)(x + 3) \] Thus, the inequality becomes: \[ (x - 8)(x + 3) > 0 \] ### Step 5: Determine the Critical Points The critical points are \( x = 8 \) and \( x = -3 \). We will analyze the sign of the product in the intervals determined by these points: \( (-\infty, -3) \), \( (-3, 8) \), and \( (8, \infty) \). ### Step 6: Test the Intervals 1. **Interval \( (-\infty, -3) \)**: Choose \( x = -4 \): \[ (-4 - 8)(-4 + 3) = (-12)(-1) > 0 \quad \text{(True)} \] 2. **Interval \( (-3, 8) \)**: Choose \( x = 0 \): \[ (0 - 8)(0 + 3) = (-8)(3) < 0 \quad \text{(False)} \] 3. **Interval \( (8, \infty) \)**: Choose \( x = 9 \): \[ (9 - 8)(9 + 3) = (1)(12) > 0 \quad \text{(True)} \] ### Step 7: Combine the Results The solution to the inequality \( (x - 8)(x + 3) > 0 \) is: \[ x \in (-\infty, -3) \cup (8, \infty) \] ### Step 8: Consider the Domain of the Logarithm Next, we must ensure that the argument of the logarithm \( \frac{x^2 + x}{x + 4} \) is positive: \[ \frac{x^2 + x}{x + 4} > 0 \] This requires \( x^2 + x > 0 \) and \( x + 4 > 0 \). ### Step 9: Solve for \( x^2 + x > 0 \) Factoring gives: \[ x(x + 1) > 0 \] The critical points are \( x = 0 \) and \( x = -1 \). Testing intervals: - For \( (-\infty, -1) \): True - For \( (-1, 0) \): False - For \( (0, \infty) \): True Thus, \( x \in (-\infty, -1) \cup (0, \infty) \). ### Step 10: Combine Conditions Now we combine the two sets of solutions: 1. From the quadratic inequality: \( x \in (-\infty, -3) \cup (8, \infty) \) 2. From the logarithm condition: \( x \in (-\infty, -1) \cup (0, \infty) \) The common solution is: \[ x \in (-\infty, -3) \cup (8, \infty) \] ### Final Answer The complete set of values of \( x \) satisfying the original inequality is: \[ \boxed{(-\infty, -3) \cup (8, \infty)} \]
