MATH-1125 Lecture : Section 1 8 Class Notes
Document Summary
The absolute value of a number x, written as x , represents the distance from a number x to 0 on the number line. To solve for x, we must find all values of x that are 5 units away from 0 on. The two numbers that are 5 units away from 0 on the number line are shown in figure 8. x. Solve the equation for x. simplify your answer. Objective 2: solving an absolute value less than inequality. The solution to the inequality x consists of all values of x whose distance from 0 is less than 5 units on the. These values are all less than 5 units from 0. The solution set is x. 5 in set builder notation or ( 5, 5) in interval notation. Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Objective 3: solving an absolute value greater than inequality.
