Def1: Def2: Absolute Value is a defined as the distance from 0
Since Absolute Value is a distance, it is always positive
07/27/12lntaylor TOC Absolute Value (Definitions) Def3:Absolute
Value is represented by the symbol | | Indicating the value inside
the | | is always positive Examples |3| = 3; |-3| = 3; |x| = x;
|-x| = x

your answer on the number line Step4:The 4|1 - 6| is 20 0-19-20 | +
20 | 4|1 6| = 4|- 5| = 4 5 = 20
Slide 17
Now you try! What is the |1- 10| - 3? 07/26/12lntaylor TOC
Slide 18
Step1: Step2: Absolute Value is the distance from 0 Do the
operation inside the | | symbol first | | -3 will be negative
because + / - = - 07/27/12lntaylor TOC What is |1 10| - 3 ?
Step3:Find your answer on the number line Step4: The |1 - 10| - 3 =
- 3 0- 1 - 3 | - 3 | |1 10| = |- 9| -3 = +9/-3 = -3

Equalities and Inequalities
Slide 22
Step1: Step2: Remember there could be a + or a - inside the | |
Therefore set up two equations solving for 3 Notice there is no
more | | symbol 07/27/12lntaylor TOC What is x if |1 x| = 3 ?
Step3:Solve each equation for x; watch your signs!!!!
Step4:Substitute and check your work 1 x = + 3 1 x = - 3 1 = + 3 +
x 1 - 3 = x - 2 = x 1 = - 3 + x 1 + 3 = x 4 = x |1 x| = 3 |1- - 2|
= 3 |3| = 3 3 = 3 |1 x| = 3 |1- 4| = 3 |- 3| = 3 3 = 3 Step5:The
values of x where |1 x| = 3 are (- 2 and 4)
Slide 23
Step1: Step2: Remember there could be a + or a - inside the | |
Therefore set up two equations solving for 9 Notice there is no
more | | symbol but there is ( ) 07/27/12lntaylor TOC What is x if
3|10 x| = 9? Step3:Solve each equation for x; watch your signs!!!!
Step4:Substitute and check your work 3(10 x) = + 93(10 x) = - 9 10
x = + 9/3 10 x = 3 10 3 = x 3|10 x| = 9 |10 - 7| = 3 |3| = 3 3 = 3
Step5:The values of x where 3|10 x| = 9 are (7 and 13) 7 = x 10 x =
- 9/3 10 x = - 3 10 + 3 = x 13 = x 3|10 x| = 9 |10 - 13| = 3 |- 3|
= 3 3 = 3
Slide 24
Step1: Step2: Remember there could be a + or a - inside the | |
Therefore set up two equations solving for the right side Notice
there is no more | | symbol but there is ( ) 07/27/12lntaylor TOC
What is x if 2|x 10| 8? Step3:Solve each equation for x; watch your
signs!!!! Step4:Remember 6 x means x 6 8 2(x 10) + 8 8/2 x 10 + 8/2
4 x 10 4 4 + 10 x 4 + 10 Step5:6 x 14 means any number less than or
equal to 6 and greater than or equal to 14 works 6 x 14
