Solution. The domain of admissible values of inequality (14) is defined by the condition x>0. For such x, both sides of inequality (14) are positive. Taking the logarithm of both sides to the base 5, we obtain the inequality
41log52x⩾1+51log52x
equivalent to (14). From (15), we get the inequality
log52x⩾20
i.e.
∣log5x∣⩾25
Thus, inequality (14) is equivalent to the system
[log5x⩾25log5x⩽−25⇔[x⩾5250<x⩽5−25
Therefore, the solution set of inequality (14) is (0;5−25]∪[525;+∞).
