Question 1192976: Use the fact that f(x) = √x is increasing on its domain to solve the inequalities: √(7-3x)<14
√(2x+1)>√(x+7)
√(5-8x)≥√(x+3)
Thank you!

Because the function sqrt%28A%29 is increasing on its domain, when solving an inequality of the form sqrt%28A%29%3Esqrt%28B%29 the solution set is not changed when we square the expressions on both sides of the inequality.

sqrt%28A%29%3Esqrt%28B%29 --> A%3EB

In each of your examples, squaring the expressions on both sides of the inequality leads to a linear equation that is easily solved with basic algebra.

I leave the work to you.
