Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities College Algebra
Absolute Value (of x) • Symbol lxl • The distance x is from 0 on the number line. • Always positive • Ex: l-3l = 3 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2
Ex: x = 5 • What are the possible values of x? x = 5 or x = -5
To solve an absolute value equation: ax+b = c, where c > 0 To solve, set up 2 new equations, then solve each equation. ax + b = c or ax + b = -c ** make sure the absolute value is by itself before you split to solve.
Ex: Solve 6x - 3 = 15 6x-3 = 15 or 6x-3 = -15 6x = 18 or 6x = -12 x = 3 or x = -2 * Plug in answers to check your solutions!
Ex: Solve 2x + 7 - 3 = 8 Get the abs. value part by itself first! 2x+7 = 11 Now split into 2 parts. 2x+7 = 11 or 2x+7 = -11 2x = 4 or 2x = -18 x = 2 or x = -9 Check the solutions.
Solving Absolute Value Inequalities • ax+b < c, where c > 0 Becomes an “and” problem Changes to: ax+b < c and ax+b > -c • ax+b > c, where c > 0 Becomes an “or” problem Changes to: ax+b > c or ax+b < -c “less thAND” “greatOR”
Ex: Solve & graph. • Becomes an “and” problem -3 7 8
Solve & graph. • Get absolute value by itself first. • Becomes an “or” problem -2 3 4
Solving an Absolute Value Equation Solve x=7 or x=−2
Solving with less than Solve
-4 3 Example 1: This is an ‘or’ statement. (Greator). Rewrite. In the 2nd inequality, reverse the inequality sign and negate the right side value. Solve each inequality. Graph the solution. • |2x + 1| > 7 • 2x + 1 > 7 or 2x + 1 >7 • 2x + 1 >7 or 2x + 1 <-7 • x > 3 or x < -4
2 8 Example 2: This is an ‘and’ statement. (Less thand). Rewrite. In the 2nd inequality, reverse the inequality sign and negate the right side value. Solve each inequality. Graph the solution. • |x -5|< 3 • x -5< 3 and x -5< 3 • x -5< 3 and x -5> -3 • x < 8 and x > 2 • 2 < x < 8
Solve the equation. This can be read as “the distance from k to –3 is 10.” |–3 + k| = 10 Rewrite the absolute value as a disjunction. –3 + k = 10 or –3 + k = –10 Add 3 to both sides of each equation. k = 13 or k = –7
Solve the equation. Isolate the absolute-value expression. Rewrite the absolute value as a disjunction. Multiply both sides of each equation by 4. x = 16 or x = –16
Solve the inequality. Then graph the solution. |–4q + 2| ≥ 10 Rewrite the absolute value as a disjunction. –4q + 2 ≥ 10 or –4q + 2 ≤ –10 Subtract 2 from both sides of each inequality. –4q ≥ 8 or –4q ≤ –12 Divide both sides of each inequality by –4 and reverse the inequality symbols. q ≤ –2 or q ≥ 3
–3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Solve the inequality. Then graph the solution. |3x| + 36 > 12 Isolate the absolute value as a disjunction. |3x| > –24 Rewrite the absolute value as a disjunction. 3x > –24 or 3x < 24 Divide both sides of each inequality by 3. x > –8 or x < 8 The solution is allreal numbers, R. (–∞, ∞)
Solve the compound inequality. Then graph the solution set. Multiply both sides by 3. |2x +7| ≤ 3 Rewrite the absolute value as a conjunction. 2x + 7 ≤ 3 and 2x + 7 ≥ –3 Subtract 7 from both sides of each inequality. 2x ≤ –4 and 2x ≥ –10 Divide both sides of each inequality by 2. x ≤ –2 and x ≥ –5
Solve the compound inequality. Then graph the solution set. Multiply both sides by –2, and reverse the inequality symbol. |p – 2| ≤ –6 Rewrite the absolute value as a conjunction. |p – 2| ≤ –6 and p – 2 ≥ 6 Add 2 to both sides of each inequality. p ≤ –4 and p ≥ 8 Because no real number satisfies both p ≤ –4 andp ≥ 8, there is no solution. The solution set is ø.
