ABSOLUTE EQUALITIES & INEQUALITIESABSOLUTE EQUALITIES & INEQUALITIES
SummarySummary
KeypointsKeypoints NotesNotes
inequalities in algebra that involve algebraic
expressions with absolute value symbols and
inequality symbols( <, >, ≤ or ≥ )
DEFINITION OF ABSOLUTE INEQUALITIES
REMEMBER: INEQUALITIES
Absolute value
inequalities with
negative absolute
values are impossible
to solve. For example
|x + 3 | < 0
cannot be solved
To solve an absolute value inequalities use a number line or formulas.
By using a number line, split the problem into two cases: when the
absolute value is positive and when it is negative and graph the
absolute value inequalities
