3-104.
Solve the equations and inequalities below. Check your solutions, if possible.
Note the absolute value. When is an absolute value greater than or equal to
? all real numbers
Factor, and solve for
. Since this is an inequality, these are the boundary points.
The boundary points areand . Plot your boundary points on a number line. Test a point in each region to see which region(s) make the inequality true.
This is a quadratic equation. Set it equal to
. Then factor and use the Zero Product Property or use the Quadratic Formula to solve.
Fractions represent division. Multiply all terms by
to 'undo' the denominators.
