Let f(z) be analytic in the unit disk U={z:|z|<1} with f(0)=f'(0)-1=0 and (f(z)/z)f'(z)≠0. By using the method of differential subordinations, we determine the largest number α(β,λ,μ,m) such that, for some β,λ,μ, and m, the differential subordination λzf'(z)/f(z)1-μ1+(zf''(z)/f'(z))-zf'(z)/f(z)+zf'(z)/f(z)m≺1+z/1-zα(β,λ,μ,m)(z∈U) implies zf'(z)/f(z)≺1+z/1-zβ. Some useful consequences of this result are also given.
