-2<2-(x+1)^(1/2)-x^2+4x-3<2-sqrt2

Explanation:

If you meant what 2-(x+1)^(1/2)-x^2+4x-3 is between, then this solution is for you.

So, since x is a number greater than 0, we plug in 0 to the expression to get:
2-(0+1)^(1/2)-0^2+4(0)-3
2-(1)^(1/2)-0+4(0)-3
2-1-0+0-3
-2
This means that 2-(x+1)^(1/2)-x^2+4x-3 has to be greater than -2

Similarly, since x is a number smaller than 1, we plug in 1 to the expression to get:
2-(1+1)^(1/2)-1^2+4(1)-3
2-(2)^(1/2)-1+4(1)-3
2-(2)^(1/2)-1+4-3
2-sqrt2
Which is approximately 0.585786437627. Therefore, 2-(x+1)^(1/2)-x^2+4x-3 has to be less than 2-sqrt2

So we now have :-2<2-(x+1)^(1/2)-x^2+4x-3<2-sqrt2
