Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is |x| ?   This is the distance from 0.  
🗑
How many solutions are there for |x|=10 ?   There are two; x=10 and x=-10.  
🗑
What symbol denotes a union between to absolute value inequalities?   U  
🗑
What are you trying to find between two absolute value inequalities joined by the word, "and"?   The intersection.  
🗑
What is the first step to solving |x|+5>2 ?   Isolate the AV by subtracting 5 from both sides. This means |x|>-3 and there is no solution.  
🗑
If |x|< -2, how many solutions are there?   None; an AV inequality cannot equal a negative number.  
🗑
When "a" is positive, then |x|=a is equivalent to what?   x=-a, a  
🗑
What are the two forms of absolute value inequalities?   |x|>a and |x|<a  
🗑
How would you solve |x|>a ?   Create two separate inequalities: x>a and x<-a  
🗑
How would you solve |x|<a   Use the form -a<|x|<a.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
