obviously, the expression inside the log should be greater than zero.
or ax^3+(a+b)x^2+(b+c)x+c should be greater than zero.
note that ax^3+(a+b)x^2+(b+c)x+c is factorisable as (x+1)(ax^2+bx+c)
so (x+1)(ax^2+bx+c) should be greater than zero.
(x+1)(ax^2+bx+b^2/4a) should be greater than zero.
a(x+1)(x+b/2a)^2 should be greater than zero.
(x+1)(x+b/2a)^2 should be greater than zero (as a is greater than zero)
hence, we conclude that x belongs to the set where x is greater than – 1 and does not equal – b/2a (in case – b/2a is greater than – 1)
