Answer 1

Try rewriting the given inequality as \[\sqrt{a}>\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{a} }\] and solving this for the variable a.

Answer 2

How come you switched it to a "greater then sign?"
Like what does that do to enable me to solve for "a" easier.

Answer 3

when dividing both sides of an inequality by a nehhative the sign is flipped

Answer 4

* negative

Answer 5

Hmm, alright. So now whats the best way to solve for "a" ?

Answer 6

Answer 7
