a≥0a≤−1
Find the union
a∈(−∞,−1]∪[0,+∞)
a∈(−∞,−1]∪[0,+∞),−a≥0−a≤−a,−a<0
Change the signs on both sides of the inequality and flip the inequality sign
a∈(−∞,−1]∪[0,+∞),a≤0−a≤−a,−a<0
Since the left-hand side is always positive or 0,and the right-hand side is always negative,the statement is false for any value of a
a∈(−∞,−1]∪[0,+∞),a≤0a∈∅,−a<0
Change the signs on both sides of the inequality and flip the inequality sign
a∈(−∞,−1]∪[0,+∞),a≤0a∈∅,a>0
