21 wrz 2023 · To solve an absolute value equation, such as \(|X| = p\), replace it with the two equations \(X = −p\) and \(X = p\) and then solve each as usual. Absolute value equations can have up to two solutions.
This topic covers: - Solving absolute value equations - Graphing absolute value functions - Solving absolute value inequalities.
16 lis 2022 · In this section we will give a geometric as well as a mathematical definition of absolute value. We will then proceed to solve equations that involve an absolute value. We will also work an example that involved two absolute values.
You can determine the distance d between a and b on the real line by taking the absolute value of their difference. That is, \[d=|a-b| \nonumber \]
f ( x) = | x − 1 | + 5. First, let's compare with the general form: f ( x) = a | x − h | + k. The value of a is 1 , so the graph opens upwards with a slope of 1 (to the right of the vertex). The value of h is 1 and the value of k is 5 , so the vertex of the graph is shifted 1 to the right and 5 up from the origin.
