Logarithm problem : Prove that l o g 3 2 1 2 > 0
My approach :
l o g 3 2 1 2 > 0
1 2 l o g 3 1 2 > 0
1 2 [ l o g 3 1 l o g 3 2 ] > 0
1 2 [ 0 l o g 3 2 ] > 0
1 2 [ l o g 3 2 ] > 0 { which is false}
Please suggest... thanks...

It is hard to prove something that isn't true. Alpha shows log 9 1 2 < 0.3 so you aren't even close. Generally, logs of things less than 1 are negative.

To evaluate l o g 3 2 1 2 you solve ( 3 2 ) x = 1 2 x l o g ( 3 2 ) = l o g ( 1 2 ) x = l o g ( 1 2 ) l o g ( 3 2 ) , but l o g ( 1 2 ) = l n ( 2 ). Hence, l o g 3 2 1 2 is not greater than 0.
