1. Absolute value function / modulus function :

 x if x≥0
The symbol of modulus function is f (x) = x and is defined as: y = x=  .
− x if x<0

2. Properties of modulus :
For any a, b ∈ R
(i) |a| ≥ 0 (ii) |a| = |–a|
(iii) |a| ≥ a, |a| ≥ –a (iv) |ab| = |a| |b|
a |a|
(v) =
b |b|

(vi) |a + b| ≤ |a| + |b| ; Equality holds when ab ≥ 0

(vii) |a – b| ≥ ||a| – |b|| ; Equality holds when ab ≥ 0

Example # 1 : Solve the following linear equations

(i) x |x| = 4 (ii) |x – 3| + 2|x + 1| = 4
Solution : (i) x|x| = 4
If x > 0
∴ x2 = 4 ⇒ x=±2
∴ x = 2 ( x ≥ 0)
If x<0 ⇒ – x2 = 4
⇒ x = – 4 which is not possible
2

(ii) |x – 3| + 2|x + 1| = 4
case I : If x ≤ –1
∴ –(x – 3) – 2(x + 1) = 4
⇒ – x + 3 – 2x – 2 = 4 ⇒ – 3x + 1 = 4
⇒ – 3x = 3 ⇒ x=–1
case II : If – 1 < x ≤ 3
∴ –(x – 3) + 2(x + 1) = 4
⇒ – x + 3 + 2x + 2 = 4
⇒ x = – 1 which is not possible
case III : If x > 3
x – 3 + 2(x + 1) = 4
3x – 1 = 4
⇒ x = 5/3 which is not possible
∴ x=–1 Ans.

Fundamental of Mathematics-II

(i) The equation f(x) = g(x), is equivalent to the following system

f(x) = g2(x) & g(x) ≥ 0
(ii) The inequation f(x) < g(x), is equivalent to the following system
f(x) < g2(x) & f(x) ≥ 0 & g(x) ≥ 0
(iii) The inequation f(x) > g(x), is equivalent to the following system
g(x) ≤ 0 & f(x) ≥ 0 or g(x) ≥ 0 & f(x) > g2(x)

4. Greatest integer function or step up function :

The function y = f (x) = [x] is called the greatest integer function where [x] equals to the greatest integer
less than or equal to x. For example :
[3.2] = 3; [– 3.2] = – 4
for − 1 ≤ x < 0 ; [x] = − 1 ; for 0 ≤ x < 1 ; [x] = 0
for 1 ≤ x < 2 ; [x] = 1 ; for 2 ≤ x < 3 ; [x] = 2 and so on.

{– 3.7} = – 3.7 – [– 3.7] = – 3.7 + 4 = 0.3

(i) {x ± m} = {x} iff m is an integer
0 , if x is an int eger
(ii) {x} + {–x} = 
1 , otherwise
Note: {mx} ≠ m {x}

9. Signum function :
A function f (x) = sgn (x) is defined as follows :
Y
 1 for x>0

f (x) = sgn (x) =  0 for x=0 y = 1 if x > 0
−1 for x<0


| x | O
 ; x≠0
It is also written as sgn (x) =  x
 0 ; x = 0 y = –1 if x < 0

y = sgn x
| f(x) |
 ; f(x) ≠ 0
Note :  sgn (f(x)) =  f(x)
 0 ; f(x) = 0
