To solve the inequality \( 2x - 7 < (3x + 1)^2 \), we first expand the right side: \[ (3x + 1)^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1. \] Now, we can rewrite the inequality as: \[ 2x - 7 < 9x^2 + 6x + 1. \] Rearranging this gives us: \[ 0 < 9x^2 + 6x - 2x + 1 + 7, \] which simplifies to: \[ 0 < 9x^2 + 4x + 8. \] Next, we want to determine where \( 9x^2 + 4x + 8 > 0 \). To find the roots of the quadratic equation \( 9x^2 + 4x + 8 = 0 \), we use the discriminant: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = 4^2 - 4(9)(8) = 16 - 288 = -272. \] Since the discriminant is negative, the quadratic has no real roots and opens upwards (as the coefficient of \(x^2\) is positive). This means \(9x^2 + 4x + 8 > 0\) for all real values of \(x\). Hence, the original inequality holds true for all \(x\). In conclusion, the solution to the inequality is: \[ \text{All real } x. \]
