(√(3x+4)) defined for x≥−(4/3) (√(3x+4))=x−2 ⇒ only one solution (squaring leads to false solutions): x=7 ⇒ the inequality holds for −(4/3)≤x≤7

$$\sqrt{\mathrm{3}{x}+\mathrm{4}}\:\mathrm{defined}\:\mathrm{for}\:{x}\geqslant−\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\sqrt{\mathrm{3}{x}+\mathrm{4}}={x}−\mathrm{2}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{solution}\:\left(\mathrm{squaring}\right. \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{leads}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{false}\:\mathrm{solutions}\right):\:{x}=\mathrm{7} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{inequality}\:\mathrm{holds}\:\mathrm{for}\:−\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}}\leqslant{x}\leqslant\mathrm{7} \\ $$

{ ((x≥−(4/3); when x−2<0 we get solution −(4/3)≤x<2)),((when x−2≥0;x≥2⇒squaring both sides)) :} ⇒3x+4 ≥ x^2 −4x+4 ⇒x^2 −7x≤0 ; 0≤x≤7 we get solution 2≤x≤7 Therefore the solution set is ⇒x ∈ [−(4/3), 7 ]

0≥((x−2)−(√(3x+4)))((x−2)+(√(3x+4))) if (x−2)+(√(3x+4))≥0 ⇔ x≥0 0≥((x−2)−(√(3x+4)))((x−2)+(√(3x+4))) if (x−2)+(√(3x+4))<0 ⇔ −(4/3)≤x<0 anyway you cannot solve it this way y_1 =x−2 is a straight line y_2 =(√(3x+4)) is a half parabola how ever you reach 3x+4 you get false solutions (√(3x+4)) is defined for x≥−(4/3) x−2=(√(3x+4)) has only 1 solution: x=7 it′s easy to show that x−2<(√(3x+4)) for −(4/3)≤x<0 and from both x−2 and (√(3x+4)) strictly increasing it follows that x−2>(√(3x+4)) for x>7 ⇒ solution is −(4/3)≤x≤7
