Problem

Solve the inequality
Solution
Since must satisfy or And since a square root is always nonnegative, must satisfy Then so must satisfy

Note that for both sides are nonnegative (and defined), so we can square both sides, to obtain the equivalent inequality This simplifies to This inequality is satisfies for all real numbers, so the solution is
Final answer
[3,\infty)
