For the function h(x)=log⁡ x+3 ⁣(x2−4x+3)h(x)=\log_{\,x+3}\!\bigl(x^{2}-4x+3\bigr), answer the following. (i) Obtain all inequalities that xx must satisfy so that both the base and the argument of the logarithm are valid. (ii) Solve these inequalities simultaneously and hence write the domain of hh. (iii) Represent the domain on a number line, clearly indicating open and closed intervals.
