1.4 Absolute Values Solving Absolute Value Equations By putting into one of 3 categories
What is the definition of “Absolute Value”? __________________________________ __________________________________ Mathematically, ___________________ For example, in , where could x be? 0 3 -3
To solve these situations, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Consider ________________________ 0
That was Category 1 Category 1 : ____________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Example Case 1 Case 2
Absolute Value Inequalities Think logically about another situation. What does mean? For instance, in the equation , _________________________________ 0
How does that translate into a sentence? __________________________________ Now solve for x. This is Category 2: when x is less than a number
Absolute Value Inequalities What does mean? In the equation , __________________________________ 0
Less than = And statement Greater than = Or statement Note: is the same as ; is the same as ; just have the sign in the rewritten equation match the original.
Isolate Absolute Value • _______________________________________ • ______________________________________ • ______________________________________
When x is on both sides • ______________________________________ ________________________________________ • ______________________________________ Case 1 Case 2
Example inequality with x on other side Case 1 Case 2
Examples Case 1 Case 2
_________________________________ Whats wrong with this? ____________________________________________________________________________________
1-4 Compound Absolute ValuesEqualities and Inequalities More than one absolute value in the equation
Some Vocab • Domain- _________________________ • Range- __________________________ • Restriction- _______________________ • __________________________________________________________________
Find a number that works. We will find a more methodical approach to find all the solutions.
In your approach, think about the values of this particular mathematical statement in the 3 different areas on a number line. • -_________________________________________ • ________________________________________ • - ________________________________________
It now forms 3 different areas or cases on the number line. • ______________________________ • ______________________________ • ___________________________________
Case 1 Domain ________________________ ____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Case 2 Domain ___________________________________
Case 3 Domain _____________________________
Final Answers • ______________________________ • ______________________________ • _____________________________ 2 5 -2
If you get an answer in any of the cases where the variable disappears and the answer is TRUE ________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________
1-5 Exponential Rules You know these already
Practice problems Simplify each expression
What is a Radical? In simplest term, it is a square root ( ) = ________________
The Principle nth root of a: 1. • If a < 0 and n is odd then is a negative number ___________________ • If a < 0 and n is even, _____________ __________
Practice problems Simplify each expression
What is a Rational Exponent? ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________
Don’t be overwhelmed by fractions! These problems are not hard, as long as you remember what each letter means. Notice I used “p” as the numerator and “r” as the denominator. p= _____________________________ r= _____________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________
Practice problems Simplify each expression
The last part of this topic What is wrong with this number? ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________
Rationalizing If you see a single radical in the denominator ______________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________
Rationalizing If you see 1 or more radicals in a binomial, what can we do?
What is a Conjugate? The conjugate of a + b ______. Why? The conjugate _______________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________
Rationalizing Multiply top and bottom by the conjugate! Its MAGIC!!
