If `ageqb >1,` then find the largest possible value of the expression `(log)_a(a/b)+(log)_b(b/a)dot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let ` x = log_(a) (a//b) + log_(b) (b//a)`
` = log_(a) a-log_(a)b+log_(b) b-log_(b) a`
` = 2- (log_(b) a+log_(a)b)`
` =- (sqrt(log_(b) a)-sqrt(log_(a)b))^(2) le 0`
Hence, the maximum value is 0.
