The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the given problems step by step. ### Part (a): Solve the inequality **Inequality:** \[ \sqrt{x+2} + \sqrt{x-5} \geq \sqrt{5-x} \] **Step 1: Determine the domain of the functions involved.** For the square roots to be defined, we need: 1. \(x + 2 \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \geq -2\) 2. \(x - 5 \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \geq 5\) 3. \(5 - x \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \leq 5\) Combining these conditions, we find that \(x\) must satisfy: \[ x \geq 5 \quad \text{and} \quad x \leq 5 \] Thus, the only value that satisfies these conditions is: \[ x = 5 \] **Step 2: Substitute \(x = 5\) into the inequality to check if it holds.** Substituting \(x = 5\): \[ \sqrt{5 + 2} + \sqrt{5 - 5} \geq \sqrt{5 - 5} \] This simplifies to: \[ \sqrt{7} + 0 \geq 0 \] This is true since \(\sqrt{7} > 0\). **Conclusion for part (a):** The solution to the inequality is: \[ \{5\} \] ### Part (b): Prove that the equality **Inequality:** \[ \log_{(2-x)}(x-3) \geq -5 \] **Step 1: Determine the conditions for the logarithm to be defined.** For the logarithm to be defined, we need: 1. \(2 - x > 0 \Rightarrow x < 2\) 2. \(x - 3 > 0 \Rightarrow x > 3\) **Step 2: Analyze the inequalities.** From \(x < 2\) and \(x > 3\), there is no \(x\) that can satisfy both conditions simultaneously. Thus, there is no solution. **Conclusion for part (b):** The equality \(\log_{(2-x)}(x-3) \geq -5\) has no solution. ### Summary of Solutions: - Part (a): The solution is \(x = 5\). - Part (b): There is no solution.
