Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x \geq \frac{1}{2}$

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

$[\frac{1}{2}, \infty)$

Step 5

Use each root to create test intervals.

$x < \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{5}{2}$

$x > \frac{5}{2}$

Step 6

Choose a test value from each interval and plug this value into the original inequality to determine which intervals satisfy the inequality.

Test a value on the interval $x < \frac{1}{2}$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $x < \frac{1}{2}$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 0$

Replace $x$ with $0$ in the original inequality.

$- 18 \sqrt{2 (0) - 1} > - 36$

The left side is not equal to the right side, which means that the given statement is false.

False

Test a value on the interval $\frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{5}{2}$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $\frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{5}{2}$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 2$

Replace $x$ with $2$ in the original inequality.

$- 18 \sqrt{2 (2) - 1} > - 36$

The left side $- 31.17691453$ is greater than the right side $- 36$ , which means that the given statement is always true.

True

Test a value on the interval $x > \frac{5}{2}$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $x > \frac{5}{2}$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 5$

Replace $x$ with $5$ in the original inequality.

$- 18 \sqrt{2 (5) - 1} > - 36$

The left side $- 54$ is not greater than the right side $- 36$ , which means that the given statement is false.

False

Compare the intervals to determine which ones satisfy the original inequality.

$x < \frac{1}{2}$ False

$\frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{5}{2}$ True

$x > \frac{5}{2}$ False

$x < \frac{1}{2}$ False

$\frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{5}{2}$ True

$x > \frac{5}{2}$ False

Step 7

The solution consists of all of the true intervals.

$\frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{5}{2}$

Step 8
