Lesson 3-6 Absolute Value Equations Objectives: To solve equations and inequalities that involve absolute value.
2
Why should we learn this? One real-world connection is evident in manufacturing. This skill helps determine possible measurements for parts.
3
Definition Absolute Value The distance a number is from zero.
4
Examples |r| = 3 |r| > 3 |r| < 3
5
Absolute Value Rules To solve |A| = b, where A represents a variable expression and b>0, solve A = b or A = -b. To solve |A| > b, A > b or A < -b To solve |A| < b, -b < A < b
6
Steps 1. Isolate the absolute value. 2. Determine whether you need intersection (and/ “between”) or union (or) 3. Solve the compound Inequality
7
Example 1, page 167 a) |t| - 2 = -1 b) 3|n| = 15
8
You try… C) 4 = 3|w| - 2 D) Is there a solution of 2|n| = -15? Explain
9
Example 2, page 168 A) |c – 2| = 6b) –5.5 = |t + 2|
10
You try… c) |7d| = 14
11
Example 3, p. 169 |v – 3| > 4
12
You Try w + 2| > 5
13
Example 4 |c - 3| < 1
14
You Try |c – 2| < 6
15
SUMMARY How do I solve an absolute value equation? How do I solve an absolute value Inequality?
16
Summary What did you learn today?
