This is my first post in this forum, and I sincerely hope to be doing the right thing, posting in the right section. Here it goes.

sqrt (x+2) > 0

and

(3/2) log (x-2)<0

Thank you.

$\left(\sqrt{x+2}\right)^2 > 0^2$

$x+2 > 0$

$x > -2$

$x > -2$
actually, $\sqrt{x+2}>0$ is true as long as the radicand is well defined, so it's just $x>-2$ and there's no need to square.

that's just $\log(x-2)<0.$

we require that $0

I thought it was like this.

$\frac{3}{2}\log_a{(x\,-\,2)}\,\lt\,0,\,a\,\gt\,0,\,x\,\gt\,2$

$\log_a{(x\,-\,2)^{3/2}}\,\lt\,0$

$a^{\log_a{(x\,-\,2)^{3/2}}}\,\lt\,a^0$

$(x\,-\,2)^{3/2}\,\lt\,1$

$x\,-\,2\,\lt\,1$

$2\,\lt\,x\,\lt\,3$

Thank you.
