Name:Date:Period: Topic: Solving Absolute Value Equations & InequalitiesEssential Question: What is the process needed to solve absolute value equations and inequalities? Warm-Up: Describe the similarities and differences between equations and inequalities.
Recall : Absolute value |x |: is the distance between x and 0. If |x | = 8, then – 8 and 8 is a solution of the equation ; or |x | 8, then any number between 8 and 8 is a solution of the inequality.
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 Recall: You can solve some absolute-value equations using mental math. For instance, you learned that the equation |x| 3 has two solutions: 3 and 3. To solve absolute-value equations, you can use the fact that the expression inside the absolute value symbols can be either positive or negative.
Solving an Absolute-Value Equation: Solve | x 2 | 5 Solve | 2x 7 | 5 4
Answer :: The expressionx 2 can be equal to 5 or 5. x 2IS NEGATIVE | x 2 | 5 x 2IS POSITIVE x 2 5 | x 2 | 5 x 3 x 2 5 CHECK x 7 Solving an Absolute-Value Equation Solve | x 2 | 5 The equation has two solutions: 7 and –3. | 7 2 | | 5 | 5 |3 2 | | 5 | 5
Answer :: Isolate theabsolute value expressionon one side of the equation. 2x 7 IS NEGATIVE 2x 7 IS POSITIVE 2x 7 IS NEGATIVE 2x 7 IS POSITIVE | 2x 7 | 5 4 | 2x 7 | 5 4 | 2x 7 | 9 | 2x 7 | 9 2x 7 9 2x 7 +9 2x 7 9 2x 7 +9 2x 2 x 8 2x 16 x 1 TWO SOLUTIONS Solve | 2x 7 | 5 4 SOLUTION Isolate theabsolute value expressionon one side of the equation. 2x 7 IS POSITIVE 2x 7 IS NEGATIVE | 2x 7 | 5 4 | 2x 7 | 5 4 | 2x 7 | 9 | 2x 7 | 9 2x 7 +9 2x 7 9 2x 16 2x 2 x 1
Solve the following Absolute-Value Equation: Practice: 1) Solve 6x-3 = 15 2) Solve 2x + 7 -3 = 8
Answer :: 1) 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!
Answer :: 2) 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.
***Important NOTE*** 3 2x + 9 +12 = 10 - 12 - 12 3 2x + 9 = - 2 3 3 No Solution 2x + 9 = - 2 3 What about this absolute value equation? 3x – 6 – 5 = – 7
Solving an Absolute Value Inequality: • Step 1: Rewrite the inequality as a conjunction or a disjunction. • If you have a you are working with a conjunction or an ‘and’ statement. Remember: “Less thand” • If you have ayou are working with a disjunction oran ‘or’ statement. Remember: “Greator” • Step 2: In the second equation you must negate the right hand side and reversethe direction of the inequality sign. • Solve as a compound inequality.
Ex: “and” inequality • Becomes an “and” problem Positive Negative 4x – 9 ≤ 21 4x – 9 ≥ -21 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 4x ≤ 30 4x ≥ -12 4 4 4 4 x ≤ 7.5 x ≥ -3 -3 7 8
This is an ‘or’ statement. (Greator). Ex: “or” inequality In the 2nd inequality, reverse the inequality sign and negate the right side value. -4 3 |2x + 1| > 7 2x + 1 > 7 or 2x + 1 < - 7 – 1 - 1 – 1 - 1 2x > 6 2x < - 8 2 2 2 2 x < - 4 x > 3
Solving Absolute Value Inequalities: Solve | x 4 | < 3 and graph the solution. Solve | 2x 1 | 3 6 and graph the solution.
Answer :: Solve | x 4 | < 3 x 4 IS POSITIVE x 4 IS NEGATIVE | x 4| 3 | x 4| 3 Reverse inequality symbol. x 4 3 x 4 3 x 7 x 1 The solution is all real numbers greater than 1 and less than 7. This can be written as 1 x 7.
Answer :: 2x + 1 IS POSITIVE 2x + 1 IS NEGATIVE | 2x 1 | 3 6 | 2x 1 | 3 6 | 2x 1 | 9 | 2x 1 | 9 2x 1 9 2x 1 +9 2x 10 2x 8 x 4 x 5 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Solve | 2x 1| 3 6 and graph the solution. Reverse inequality symbol. The solution is all real numbers greater than or equal to 4orless than or equal to 5. This can be written as the compound inequality x 5orx 4.
Solve and graph the following Absolute-Value Inequalities: 3) • |x -5| < 3
Answer :: Solve & graph. 3) • Get absolute value by itself first. • Becomes an “or” problem -2 3 4
Answer :: 2 8 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 and Graph 5) 4m - 5 > 7 or 4m - 5 < - 9 6) 3 < x - 2 < 7 7) |y – 3| > 1 • |p + 2| + 4 < 10 • |3t - 2| + 6 = 2
