Solving the equation $$x^2-4x+3<0$$ = $$(x-1)(x-3)<0$$

Using Wavy curve method we get $$1<x<3$$

Similarly solving equation $$2x^2-9x+10<0$$ = $$(x-2)(2x-5)<0$$

Using Wavy curve method we get $$2<x<2.5$$

Only possible value of x is 2.3

$$x^2-4x+3<0$$ ---> $$(x-1)(x-3)<0$$

$$x=1$$

$$x=3$$

$$1<x<3$$

$$2x^2-9x+10<0$$

$$(2x^2-4x)-(5x+10)<0$$

$$2x(x-2)-5(x-10)<0$$

$$(2x-5)(x-2)<0$$

$$2x=5$$ ---> $$x =2.5$$

$$x-2$$ ---> $$x=2$$

$$2<x<2.5$$
