Absolute Value
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero.
The symbol for absolute value is
6 = 6
-5 = 5
Absolute Value is always positive or zero.
Graphing Absolute Value
X = 6 Where are the numbers that are 6 units from zero?

Graphing Absolute Value
2X - 3 = - 6Absolute value is always a positive number or zero.
20 31 54 76-1-4 -2-3-5-6-7
Graph:
Absolute value will never equal a negative number.
NO SOLUTION
Graphing Absolute Value
X - 5 < -2Absolute value is always a positive number or zero.
20 31 54 76-1-4 -2-3-5-6-7
Graph:
Since absolute value is always positive or zero, it cannot be less
than a negative number.
NO SOLUTION
Graphing Absolute Value
3X+2 ≥ -2Absolute value is always a positive number or zero.
20 31 54 76-1-4 -2-3-5-6-7
Graph:
Since absolute value is always positive or zero, it will ALWAYS be greater than ANY negative number.
ALL Real Numbers will have an Absolute Value ≥ -2
