first,
log 0.3{ (x2 - 1) / x2 - 3x + 2} >0
because we need to find it's square root.
So,
(x2 - 1) / (x2 - 3x + 2) < 1 (This to me is the important step.) because log(0.3)<0 ... ask again if you dont understand. I will answer again.
now, this remains a simple question of algebra
(x2 - 1) / (x2 - 3x + 2) - 1 < 0
implies (x2-1-x2+3x-2)/(x2 - 3x + 2) < 0
(3x-3)/(x-1)(x-2) < 0
so (x-1)/(x-1)(x-2)<0
at x=1 function is undefined.
otherwise we need x-2<0
so x<2
is the solution. (but we have to exclude point x=1 where the given function is undefined.
So soln is (-∞,1) U (1,2)
