At this point you can multiply through by 8 to get: x^2-12x+32>0 Then factor: (x-4)(x-8)>0 Now solve this inequality, subject to:

Your next step should be: (L-W)^2=0 So, how must L and W be related in order for this to be true?

I would look at a substitution like: u=\sqrt{x^2+4x+3}\implies dx=\frac{u}{x+2}\,du And the integral then becomes: I=\int\frac{1}{u^2+1}\,du

Yes, we have a parabola opening upwards, and given that it has two real roots, we should expect to find it to be negative in between its roots. :D
