Answer

$\left\{x\ |\ x\geq-1 \right\}$ or $\left[-1,+\infty \right)$

Work Step by Step

$x(4x+3)\leq(2x+1)^{2}$ $4x^{2}+3x \leq 4x^{2}+4x+1 \qquad$ ... add $ -4x-4x^{2}$ $-x \leq 1\qquad \qquad$... multiply with $-1 $ (negative) ... the inequality changes direction ... $ x\geq-1$ Solution set: $\left\{x\ |\ x\geq-1 \right\}$ or $\left[-1,+\infty \right)$
