To find the values of x for the function f(x)=3√(x+4) given that f(x)≥4, one must first set up the inequality 3√(x+4)≥4. This simplifies to √(x+4)≥4/3, leading to x+4≥(16/9) when both sides are squared. By solving the resulting equation, x must be greater than or equal to (16/9) - 4, which is approximately -1.56. The constraints x≥-4 and y≥0 are satisfied within this range, confirming the solution is valid. Thus, the values of x that meet the criteria can be determined through these calculations.

f(x)=3\sqrt{x+4} & x\ge-4;y\ge0

then if f(x)\ge4 find the values of x

Do I then ignore x\ge-4;y\ge0 and replace f(x) with 4 ?

How would I go about solving this?

Hint: start with $$x+4=\dfrac{16}{9}$$

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
