1. Rearrange the inequality into the standard quadratic form

x2−2mx+2m>−3x^2 - 2mx + 2m > -3
x2−2mx+(2m+3)>0x^2 - 2mx + (2m + 3) > 0

2. Apply the discriminant condition for a quadratic to be always positive

For the quadratic expression to be strictly positive for all real xx, the coefficient of x2x^2 must be positive (which is 1>01 > 0) and the discriminant must be negative (b2−4ac<0b^2 - 4ac < 0).
(−2m)2−4(1)(2m+3)<0(-2m)^2 - 4(1)(2m + 3) < 0

3. Solve the resulting quadratic inequality for $m$

4m2−8m−12<04m^2 - 8m - 12 < 0
Dividing by 4:
m2−2m−3<0m^2 - 2m - 3 < 0
(m−3)(m+1)<0(m - 3)(m + 1) < 0
−1<m<3-1 < m < 3

Answer

−1<m<3-1 < m < 3
