log4 (4x+3) < log4 (5x-3/2x-3) I think you meant:Think I'll put the more complicated side on the left and reverse the inequality: 4 raised to the power of both sides will preserve the inequality since log is an increasing function. It might help to draw a graph of y = the left side and see where the graph is positive: It has vertical asymptotes at x=3/2 and x=-3/4 We need the x-intercepts which are the zeros of the numerator. So the graph is positive (above the x-axis) when x is between the left horizontal asymptote and the left-most x-intercept, That's And, the graph is positive again when x is between the right-most asymptote and the right-most x-intercept. That's Answer: and Edwin
