A hint to get started

Prove positivity and retain an isolated equality

Given that xx is real, prove algebraically that x2−2x+3x^2-2x+3 is always positive. mark

Hence, without using a graphing calculator, find the range of values of xx that satisfy x+4x2−2x+3≥32−x\dfrac{x+4}{x^2-2x+3}\geq\dfrac3{2-x}. marks
