SummarySummary
KeypointsKeypoints NotesNotes
inequalities in algebra that involve algebraic
expressions with absolute value symbols and
inequality symbols( <, >, ≤ or ≥ )DEFINITION OF ABSOLUTE INEQUALITIESREMEMBER: INEQUALITIES
Absolute valueinequalities withnegative absolutevalues are impossibleto solve. For example
|x + 3 | < 0
cannot be solvedTo 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 inequalitiesEXAMPLE
