Determine all values of t if 4x^2-lnx>t and t is positive?

The first thing to do is to analyze the monotony of the function
f(x). For this reason, we'll differentiate the function:


f'(x) = 8x
- 1/x


We'll put f'(x) = 0.


8x - 1/x =
0


(8x^2 - 1)/x = 0


We notice that we
have a difference of 2 squares at numerator:


(8x^2 - 1) = (2x*sqrt2
- 1)(2x*sqrt2 + 1)


f'(x) = 0 if and only if (2x*sqrt2 - 1)(2x*sqrt2
+ 1)= 0.


2x*sqrt2 - 1= 0 => x = 1/2sqrt2 =
sqrt2/4


2x*sqrt2 + 1 = 0


x = -
sqrt2/4


The derivative is negative, over the range (0; sqrt2/4) and
it is positive over the range (sqrt2/4; +infinite).


That means that
the function is decreasing over the interval (0; sqrt2/4] and it is increasing over the range
[sqrt2/4; +infinite).


So, the point f(sqrt2/4) is a local minimum
point for the function.


Therefore,
f(x)>=f(sqrt2/4)>=t


f(1/6) = 8/16 - ln(sqrt2/4) = 1/2
+ ln sqrt2/4


So, a =< 1/2 + ln
sqrt2/4


All real values of "a" are located in the
interval (-infinite ; 1/2 + ln
sqrt2/4].
