Name NSCHS 9/12/14 Alg2/Trig Unit 1 Lesson 5Aim: How do we solve absolute inequalities? Do Now: Solve and Graph • 28 > 6k + 4 > 16 • m – 7 > -12 or • -3m + 2 > 38
Example: • 9 = l x + 12 l • 7 = l y + 5 l - 1
Example • Remember: absolute value always gives us positive answers • l 3x – 2 l + 8 = 1
Absolute Value Inequalities • Solve them the same way you would equations except that when you separate the equation into 2 cases, you must flip the sign on case 2. • If the variable starts off less than a value, it becomes an intersection. If the variable is more than a value, it becomes a union. • Examples: lxl < a • x< a and x>-a • Examples: lxl > b • x>b or x <-b
Example: • lxl< 5 • x < 5 and x > -5
Example: • lxl> 14 • x > 14 or x < -14
Example: • l 4x – 7 l > 13
Practice • l 5z + 2 l < 17
