By definition, , so, applying this definition to our question, we know that , which is a stronger condition tan ("stronger" means that is more restrictive than ). Instead of interpreting the issue as "solve ", we are going to read it as "solve " which, in fact, is easier to solve. In order to solve we must again remember the definition of , which is done by cases: If , then If , then Taking this into account for our problem, we can conclude that: If and then, If and then, (observe that the sign of the inequality has changed on changing the sign of both members) As the result obtained in the first case is and the result obtained in the second case is , both put together give us the final result that the inequation is satisfied .
