Taking the RHS inequality, we get x 2 14 x + 11 < x 2 2 x + 3 x > 2 3 . x^2-14x+11 < x^2-2x+3 \Rightarrow x > \frac{2}{3}. For the LHS inequality, we have x 2 + 2 x 3 < x 2 14 x + 11 0 < 2 x 2 16 x + 14 0 < x 2 8 x + 7 0 < ( x 1 ) ( x 7 ) x ( , 1 ) ( 7 , ) -x^2 + 2x-3 < x^2 -14x +11 \Rightarrow 0 < 2x^2 -16x+14 \Rightarrow 0 < x^2 -8x+7 \Rightarrow 0 < (x-1)(x-7) \Rightarrow x \in (-\infty,1) \cup (7,\infty) . This gives us the entire solution set x ( 2 3 , 1 ) ( 7 , ) x \in (\frac{2}{3},1) \cup (7,\infty) . If we want x N x \in \mathbb{N} over the interval ( 7 , 100 ) (7,100) , then there are 92 \boxed{92} admissible values.
