The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \[ \frac{1 + (\log_a x)^2}{1 + \log_a x} > 1 \] where \(0 < a < 1\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Inequality Start by rewriting the inequality: \[ \frac{1 + (\log_a x)^2}{1 + \log_a x} - 1 > 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1 + (\log_a x)^2 - (1 + \log_a x)}{1 + \log_a x} > 0 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the Numerator Now simplify the numerator: \[ 1 + (\log_a x)^2 - 1 - \log_a x = (\log_a x)^2 - \log_a x \] Thus, the inequality becomes: \[ \frac{(\log_a x)^2 - \log_a x}{1 + \log_a x} > 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the Numerator Factor the numerator: \[ \frac{\log_a x (\log_a x - 1)}{1 + \log_a x} > 0 \] ### Step 4: Determine Critical Points Identify the critical points by setting the numerator and denominator to zero: 1. \(\log_a x = 0 \Rightarrow x = a^0 = 1\) 2. \(\log_a x - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = a^1 = a\) 3. \(1 + \log_a x = 0 \Rightarrow \log_a x = -1 \Rightarrow x = a^{-1} = \frac{1}{a}\) ### Step 5: Analyze the Sign of the Expression We need to analyze the sign of the expression \(\frac{\log_a x (\log_a x - 1)}{1 + \log_a x}\) across the intervals determined by the critical points \(x = a\), \(x = 1\), and \(x = \frac{1}{a}\). - **Interval 1:** \(x < a\) - \(\log_a x < 0\) (negative) - \(\log_a x - 1 < 0\) (negative) - \(1 + \log_a x > 0\) (positive) The product is positive. - **Interval 2:** \(a < x < 1\) - \(\log_a x > 0\) (positive) - \(\log_a x - 1 < 0\) (negative) - \(1 + \log_a x > 0\) (positive) The product is negative. - **Interval 3:** \(x = 1\) - The expression equals zero. - **Interval 4:** \(1 < x < \frac{1}{a}\) - \(\log_a x > 0\) (positive) - \(\log_a x - 1 > 0\) (positive) - \(1 + \log_a x > 0\) (positive) The product is positive. - **Interval 5:** \(x > \frac{1}{a}\) - \(\log_a x > 0\) (positive) - \(\log_a x - 1 > 0\) (positive) - \(1 + \log_a x > 0\) (positive) The product is positive. ### Step 6: Combine the Results From the analysis, the solution set is: \[ (-\infty, a) \cup (1, \frac{1}{a}) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution set of the inequality is: \[ x \in (-\infty, a) \cup (1, \frac{1}{a}) \]
