I'm assuming the question meant: the range of values of m such that the expression is defined for all real values of x
For this expression to be defined for all real values of x , we must ensure that the denominator − 4 x 2 + 3 x + m never equals to 0 for any real value of x . This means that the equation − 4 x 2 + 3 x + m = 0 should not have any real roots.
Therefore, we can use the quadratic determinant to find the range of m
b 2 − 4 a c < 0 3 2 − 4 ( − 4 ) ( m ) < 0 9 + 1 6 m < 0 ⟹ m < − 1 6 9
Therefore, the answer is m < − 1 6 9 or ( − ∞ , − 1 6 9 )
