Step 1:
\The radical function
We know that domain is all possible values of .
We must note that we cannot have a negative value under the square root sign.
\Set the expression under the square root sign greater than or equal to 0.

Solutions of the equation are
.
Step 3:
\The solutions are separate the number line into three intervals.
\Now test sample values in each interval to determine whether values in the interval satisfy the inequality.
\Test interval - value Inequality Conclusion
