Objective: - Write, Solve, and Graph Absolute-Value Equations and Inequalities in Mathematical and Real-World Situations
Objective
• Write, solve, and graph absolute-value
equations and inequalities in mathematical
and real-world situations.
Glossary Term
absolute value
Geometric definition:
The absolute value of x is the distance from
x to 0 on the number line.
Absolute-Value Inequalities
If a > 0 and |x| < a, then x > –a and x < a.
If a > 0 and |x| > a, then x < –a and x > a.
Similar statements are true for |x| a and |x| a.
Key Skills
Solve and graph absolute-value equations.
|x + 1| = 7
x+1=7 or x + 1 = –7
x=6 or x = –8
Key Skills
Solve and graph absolute-value equations.
4|x| = 8
4x = 8 or 4x = –8
x=2 or x = –2
Key Skills
Solve and graph absolute-value inequalities.
|x + 52| 76
x + 52 76 or –(x + 52) 76
x 24 or x –128
Key Skills
Solve and graph absolute-value inequalities.
|x + 52| 76
x + 52 76 and –(x + 52) 76
x 24 and x –128
