We have to solve the inequality 14x^2 < 13x -
3
Now 14x^2 < 13x -
3
subtract 13x - 3 from both the
sides
=> 14x^2 - 13x + 3 <
0
=> 14x^2 - 7x - 6x + 3 <
0
=> 7x( 2x - 1) -3 (2x -1) <
0
=> (7x - 3) ( 2x -1) <
0
Now for the product of the factors to be less than 0 only
one of them should be negative and the other
positive.
Therefore first
taking:
(7x - 3) <0 and ( 2x -1)
>0
=> x < 3/7 and x >
1/2
But x cannot be less than 3/7 and greater than 1/2 at
the same time, so we can't find valid values here.
Let's
take (7x - 3) > 0 and ( 2x -1) <0
=>
x > 3/7 and x < 1/2
This gives valid values
in the range (3/7 , 1/2)
Therefore the set in
which the values of x lie is (3/7 , 1/2).
