\(P=\frac{1}{2}log_{\frac{a}{b}}a-4log_a\left(a+\frac{b}{4}\right)=\frac{1}{2log_a\frac{a}{b}}-4log_a\left(a+\frac{b}{4}\right)=\frac{1}{2\left(1-log_ab\right)}-4log_a\left(a+\frac{b}{4}\right)\)
Ta có: \(a+\frac{b}{4}\ge2\sqrt{\frac{ab}{4}}=\sqrt{ab}\)
\(\Rightarrow log_a\left(a+\frac{b}{4}\right)\le log_a\sqrt{ab}\) (do \(0< a< 1\))
\(\Rightarrow P\ge\frac{1}{2\left(1-log_ab\right)}-4log_a\sqrt{ab}=\frac{1}{2\left(1-log_ab\right)}-2\left(1+log_ab\right)\)
Đặt \(log_ab=x\Rightarrow0< x< 1\) \(\Rightarrow P\ge\frac{1}{2\left(1-x\right)}-2\left(1+x\right)\)
Xét hàm \(f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2\left(1-x\right)}-2\left(1+x\right)\) với \(0< x< 1\)
\(f'\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2\left(1-x\right)^2}-2=0\Leftrightarrow\frac{1-4\left(1-x\right)^2}{2\left(1-x\right)^2}=0\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}\)
Từ BBT ta thấy \(f\left(x\right)_{min}=f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=-2\)
\(\Rightarrow P\ge-2\Rightarrow P_{min}=-2\) khi \(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x=\frac{1}{2}\\a=\frac{b}{4}\end{matrix}\right.\) \(\Leftrightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}log_ab=\frac{1}{2}\\a=\frac{b}{4}\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a=b^2\\a=\frac{b}{4}\end{matrix}\right.\) \(\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a=\frac{1}{16}\\b=\frac{1}{4}\end{matrix}\right.\) \(\Rightarrow S=\frac{5}{16}\)
