First of all what does sqrt stand for? Ahhhhhhhhh square root!
sqrt (3x) > -1
square both sides
3x > -1^2
3x > 1
divide both sides by 3
x > 1/3
i hope that helps....

The above answers are INCORRECT as the sqrt( f(x) )bigger than a negative number means complex numbers. They answers above are only true of sqrt (3x)>+1
Basically, the square root of any positive number is greater than 0, so greater than -1.
The answers above have incorrectly stated that x>1/3, but make x = 0.001 and see that it still works.
Basically, x>0, and for an x <=0, the answer has a complex root including i, so I would put the answer as x>0.

x ⥠0
The square root of of any (non-negative) number is non-negative, so its always greater than -1 in this case.
x cannot be negative, as the square root would become imaginary.
Markymark: you obviously did not read my answer.
Also, your answer is not quite correct, as 0 is a solution.
