Even and odd functions

If f is defined on a symmetric domain, and if f(-x)=f(x), f is even, and if

f(-x)=-f(x), f is odd.

1. Solve for x:

log 2 x log 2 ( x 2) 3.

Solution x = 4 and x = 2.
Notice that x = 4 is not a valid value for x in the original
equation, since the logarithm of a negative number is
undefined. The only solution is, therefore, x = 2.
2. Solve for x: 2 x1 3x.
