5. III. Absolute Value A. Magnitude or distance from zero B. Properties

6. C. Rewriting Absolute Value Equations: Ex. 1 -

7. Ex. 2 - First, find where each separate part would equal zero Next, set up your intervals using only one ≤ and only one ≥.

8. Now, drop the absolute value signs and simplify the expression. This goes with the right-most part of the domain Negate the entire expression. This goes with the left-most part of the domain

9. Finally, subtract the second absolute value expression from the first, giving you the expression for the middle part of the domain. We need to be able to do this for CALCULUS!!
