\"\"

\

The inequality is \"\".

\

Solve the inequality.

\

Step 1:

\

Since the radicand of a square root must be greaterthan or equal to zero, first solve \"\" and \"\" to identity the values of \"\" for which the left side of the inequality is define.

\

Case (i):

\

\"\"                               (First radicand greater than or equals to zero)

\

\"\"                   (Subtract \"\" from each side)

\

\"\"                                 (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

Case (ii):

\

\"\"                               (Second radicand greater than or equals to zero)

\

\"\"                    (Subtract \"\" from each side)

\

\"\"                                  (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"

\

Step 2:

\

\"\"            (Original inequality)

\

\"\"   (Subtract \"\"from each side)

\

\"\"          (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"     (Take square on each side)

\

\"\"

\

\"\"(Cancel square and root terms)

\

\"\"                   (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"   (Subtract \"\"from each side)

\

\"\"                  (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                        (Multiply negative sign each side and flip the symbol)

\

\"\"              (Take square each side)

\

\"\"                     (Cancel square and root terms)

\

\"\"                (Divide each side by \"\")

\

\"\"                           (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                (Subtract \"\" from each side)

\

\"\"                              (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                             (Simplify)

\

\"\"

\

Step 3:

\

It appears that \"\".

\

Check:

\

Use three test values and make a table:

\ \
\ \
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
\"\"\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"\"\"
Since \"\" is not a real number,the inequality is not satisfied. Since \"\"is not a real number,the inequality is not satisfied.Since \"\",the inequality is satisfied.
\

Thus, only values in the interval \"\" satisfy the inequality.
