Detailed Solution

We have, x2+kx+1x2+x+1<3

         -3<x2+kx+1x2+x+1<3  Since,  x2+x+1=x+122+34>0

-3(x2+x+1)<x2+kx+1<3(x2+x+1)          4x2+(k+3)x+4>0          ...(i)  and      2x2-(k-3)x+2>0      .....(ii)  Since     4>0 and 2>0

The inequality (i) will be valid, if

           (k+3)2-4·4·4<0(k+3)2<64  or   -8<k+3<8                   or      -11<k<5           ...(iii)

and the inequality (ii) will be valid, if

(k-3)2-4·2·2<0  or   (k-3)2<16

or    -4<k-3<4  or         -1<k<7           ......(iv)

The condition (iii) and (iv) will hold simultaneously, if 

             -1<k<5
