8. Solve the equation $\frac{3}{\log _{2} x}=4 x-5$.

Answer: 2.

Solution: The function $y=\log _{2} x$ is increasing, therefore $y=\frac{3}{\log _{2} x}$ is a decreasing function. On the other hand, the function $y=4 x-5$ is increasing, therefore, the given equation has no more than one root. By trial, we find that $x=2$ is a solution to the equation.
5.I.8. Comment. The error in the given solution is that the function $y=\frac{3}{\log _{2} x}$ is decreasing not on its entire domain, but only on each of the intervals $(0 ; 1)$ and $(1 ;+\infty)$. Therefore, this equation has no more than one root in each of them. In addition to $x=2$, the solution to the equation is the number $x=\frac{1}{2}$.
