ABSOLUTE VALUE

INEQUALITIES
Learning Objectives
Identifying absolute value inequalities

Solve contextual problems that related to absolute

value inequalities
 The definition of absolute value

Suppose is a real number, then , can be read the

 

absolute value of , and is defined as:

 
𝒙 𝒊𝒇 𝒙 ≥ 𝟎
|𝒙|= {
− 𝒙 𝒊𝒇 𝒙 < 𝟎

“The absolute value of a number will have two

possible values: The number itself or the negative of
that number”.
 Principle:
To find the solution of a mathematical equation
that contains an absolute value in it.

It takes absolute value traits to solve a mathematical
inequality containing absolute values.

Absolute Value Inequalities ??
Solve inequalities with the proper method, but
consider the form of absolute values ​by including
the traits of absolute values ​in the process of
finding solutions or sets of solutions
