Start by identifying the values of x for which the inequality is defined.
x ≥ 29
Before solving the radical inequality, recall that the radicand of a square root must be greater than or equal to 0.
sqrt(3x+13) -5≥ 5
Let's start by identifying any values of x for which the inequality is defined.
After we solve the given inequality, we can combine the above information to obtain the final solution set. Let's now solve the inequality.
LHS+5≥RHS+5
LHS^2≥RHS^2
( sqrt(a) )^2 = a
Now we can combine the two intervals.
The intersection of both solutions, which is the final solution set of the given inequality, is x≥ 29.
