1. Problem Description

We need to solve the inequality t14t+5<t34t3\frac{t-1}{4t+5} < \frac{t-3}{4t-3}.

2. Solution Steps

First, move all terms to one side of the inequality:
t14t+5t34t3<0\frac{t-1}{4t+5} - \frac{t-3}{4t-3} < 0.
Next, find a common denominator:
(t1)(4t3)(t3)(4t+5)(4t+5)(4t3)<0\frac{(t-1)(4t-3) - (t-3)(4t+5)}{(4t+5)(4t-3)} < 0.
Expand the numerator:
4t23t4t+3(4t2+5t12t15)(4t+5)(4t3)<0\frac{4t^2 - 3t - 4t + 3 - (4t^2 + 5t - 12t - 15)}{(4t+5)(4t-3)} < 0.
Simplify the numerator:
4t27t+34t2+7t+15(4t+5)(4t3)<0\frac{4t^2 - 7t + 3 - 4t^2 + 7t + 15}{(4t+5)(4t-3)} < 0.
18(4t+5)(4t3)<0\frac{18}{(4t+5)(4t-3)} < 0.
Since the numerator is a positive constant, the fraction will be negative when the denominator is negative.
(4t+5)(4t3)<0(4t+5)(4t-3) < 0.
To solve this inequality, we need to find the roots of the denominator:
4t+5=0t=544t+5 = 0 \Rightarrow t = -\frac{5}{4}
4t3=0t=344t-3 = 0 \Rightarrow t = \frac{3}{4}
The expression (4t+5)(4t3)(4t+5)(4t-3) is a parabola opening upwards. It is negative between the roots. Therefore:
54<t<34-\frac{5}{4} < t < \frac{3}{4}.

3. Final Answer

54<t<34-\frac{5}{4} < t < \frac{3}{4}
