Solve 6x^2 > 3 - 7x

First put everything to one side, 6x2 + 7x - 3 > 0

Then factorise the LHS, (3x - 1)(2x + 3) > 0

Get two answers for x, x = 1/3 or x = -3/2

Then work out where the val...

Given log3(3b + 1) - log3(a-2) = -1 for a > 2. Express b in terms of a.

We can start by recognising one of our properties of log. That is loga(x) - loga(y) = loga(x/y). Performing this on our question we get: log3((3b+1)/(a-2)) = -1...
