\"sqrt%285-x%29%3Cx%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5-x%3Cx%5E2%2B2x%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B3x-4%3E0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B4%29%28x-1%29%3E0\"
\n" ); document.write( "The solution for this is \"x%3C-4\" and \"x%3E1\".
\n" ); document.write( "However the negative solutions do not solve the equation, they only do so when the two sides are squared so only \"x%3E1\" is accepted as a solution.

\n" ); document.write( "In addition, we have an additional constraint with the square root function.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5-x%3E=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%3C=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "So putting those together, the solution region is,
