Asked by Athenal

Someone help me!!
square root = sqrt
(5x^2-5x-10)sqrt(x+7) + (2x+6)sqrt(x+2) >= x^3+13x^2-6x-28
thank you!

well, looking at the graphs, it looks like -2 <= x <= 2

checking, if we call them
f(x)+g(x) >= h(x), then

f(-2) = 20√5
g(-2) = 0

f(2) = 0
g(2) = 20

h(-2) = 28
h(2) = 20

so,
f(-2)+g(-2) >= h(-2)
f(2) + g(2) >= h(2)

Clearly we need x >= -2 for √(x+2) to be real.

Beyond x=2, h(x) clearly grows faster than f+g, since h is a cubic (x^3) and f+g is basically x^2.5, so for x>2, f+g < h

The graph of (f+g)-h is shown here:
