1. 2.6 Absolute Value

2. Goals  SWBAT solve inequalities involving absolute value.

3. Definitions  The of a, denoted, is the distance that a is from zero on a number line.  The absolute value of a number is always.  So, in other words, and. That said, we must consider both the negative and positive versions of a when solving absolute value equations and inequalities. absolutevalue positive

6. Solving Absolute Value Inequalities  1.Get the absolute value by itself, making sure to remember that if you or by a negative you flip the sign!  2.Set up two equality problems, one for the positive, one for the negative, and solve.  3.Plot your solution(s) on a number line. Use an dot for, and a dot for or  4.Test the intervals on your number line to determine where to shade. (shade where it makes the statement true)  5. Write a compound inequality for your solution. (an and or an or) multiply divide openclosed
