2x + 3 > 0 ⇒ x > −(3/2) 2x + 3 ≠ 1 ⇒ x ≠ −1 ((log x^2 )/(log 2x+3)) < 1 Case 1: x < −1 (2x + 3 < 1) log 2x + 3 < 0 ⇒ log x^2 > log 2x+3 ⇒ log (x^2 /(2x+3)) > 0 ⇒ (x^2 /(2x+3)) > 1 ⇒ x^2 −2x − 3 > 0 ⇒ x ∈ (−∞,−1) ∪ (3, +∞) but x < −1 ⇒ x ∈ (−∞,−1) Case 2: x > −1 (2x+3 > 1) log 2x+3 > 0 ⇒ log x^2 < log 2x+3 ⇒ log (x^2 /(2x+3)) < 0 ⇒ (x^2 /(2x+3)) < 1 ⇒ x^2 −2x−3 < 0 ⇒ x ∈ (−1,3) x > −1 ⇒ x ∈ (−1, 3) putting together: x ∈ (−(3/2), 3) − {−1}
