Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities
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. |
