4x^{2}-3-4x>0
Subtract 4x from both sides.
4x^{2}-3-4x=0
To solve the inequality, factor the left hand side. Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{-\left(-4\right)±\sqrt{\left(-4\right)^{2}-4\times 4\left(-3\right)}}{2\times 4}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute 4 for a, -4 for b, and -3 for c in the quadratic formula.
x=\frac{4±8}{8}
Do the calculations.
x=\frac{3}{2} x=-\frac{1}{2}
Solve the equation x=\frac{4±8}{8} when ± is plus and when ± is minus.
4\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)>0
Rewrite the inequality by using the obtained solutions.
x-\frac{3}{2}<0 x+\frac{1}{2}<0
For the product to be positive, x-\frac{3}{2} and x+\frac{1}{2} have to be both negative or both positive. Consider the case when x-\frac{3}{2} and x+\frac{1}{2} are both negative.
x<-\frac{1}{2}
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x<-\frac{1}{2}.
x+\frac{1}{2}>0 x-\frac{3}{2}>0
Consider the case when x-\frac{3}{2} and x+\frac{1}{2} are both positive.
x>\frac{3}{2}
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x>\frac{3}{2}.
x<-\frac{1}{2}\text{; }x>\frac{3}{2}
The final solution is the union of the obtained solutions.
