Looking for descriptive material about log inequalities.

[Willowz]

So, I have this book that doesn't explain why you have to first find the domain, consolidate logs, solve the function as a rational inequality, find the key numbers, then find which numbers of the key numbers are actually in the domain according to the inequality, and finally write out the solution set. It just gives examples.

Now that's dandy and all but it's not enough (at least not for me). I can understand that the teacher doesn't have time to go through the whole material and expects the student to do this at home. But, I have not found good material on this topic (in the textbook or online). Can someone provide some descriptive/graphical material on the meaning behind these procedures that must be taken. Thanks.

What you describe sounds like an interesting procedure, but I can't quite visualize it from your description. Could you give an example? What course is this material a subset of?
