I have to prove that $\ln(x) > 3*[(x-1)]/(x+1)$ for $x > 1$...

Using Lagrange's theoreme... I have no idea where to start because I dont even have an interval? Can you give me a hint?

    What *exactly* do you call "Lagrange's Theorem" to within this context?2012-12-26

    @DonAntonio I suppose he means the Mean Value Theorem2012-12-26

    @Nameless, I'm almost 100% positive he did, yet I think it's a good idea to be more explicit when writing to an international audience. Thanks.2012-12-26
