√x>4

I'm assuming you want to solve for x.Square both sides:x>16

RyanIn this inequality, the square root of some number must be greater than 4.Since the square root of 16 is equal to 4, the square root of any value larger than 16 would be greater than 4.In terms of algebra, we would square both sides of the inequality. I don't believe we need to worry about the direction of the inequality because we shouldn't be multiplying either side by a negative value.
