$${compare}\:{log}_{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{3}\:{with}\:{log}_{\mathrm{3}} \mathrm{4} \\ $$

9>8  3^2 >2^3   2 log_2  3>3  ⇒log_2  3>(3/2)=(9/6)    8<9  2^3 =4^(3/2) <3^2   (3/2) log_3  4<2  ⇒log_3  4<(4/3)=(8/6)<(9/6)=(3/2)<log_2  3  i.e. log_2  3 > log_3  4

$$\mathrm{9}>\mathrm{8} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}} >\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{3}>\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{3}>\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{6}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{8}<\mathrm{9} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{4}^{\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}} <\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{4}<\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{4}<\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}}=\frac{\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{6}}<\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{6}}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}<\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${i}.{e}.\:\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{3}\:>\:\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{4} \\ $$
