1. Set up the rational inequality $\mathrm{f}(x) \ge \mathrm{g}(x)$ and combine terms into a single fraction.
2. Analyse the numerator to determine its sign.
Completing the square for the numerator:
Since for all real , the numerator for all real .
3. Formulate and solve the corresponding inequality for the denominator.
Since the numerator is strictly positive, the overall fraction is if and only if the denominator is strictly positive (it cannot be zero):
Solving this quadratic inequality gives:
4. Determine the final subset by intersecting the inequality solution with the given domain.
The function's domain is , which means .
Intersecting with gives:
This gives the required subset of the domain.
