Solve
sqrt(x+5)+sqrt(x+10)>=2
-----
Square both sides to get::
x+5 + sqrt[(x+5)(x+10)] + x+10 >= 4
--------
sqrt[x^2+15x+50] >= -2x - 11
sqrt[x^2+15x+50] >= -(2x+11)
------
Square both sides to get:
x^2 + 15x + 50 >= 4x^2 + 44x + 121
----------
3x^2 + 29x + 71 <= 0
-------
Ans:: no solution

Solve
sqrt(x+5)+sqrt(x+10)>=2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




Figure. Plots y = and y = 2.

Why not? - They are . . .

Take x = -5. Then

= = is just > 2.

Then everything that is greater than -5 satisfies the inequality, too.

Answer. The entire domain {x| x >= -5} is the solution.


Simply there is an error in the previous solution.
