7.3: Absolute Value Equations (day 1)
Objectives: Solving simple absolute value equations algebraically and graphically Solving absolute value equations with technology
Explain why the absolute value equation |f ( x )|=b for b<0 has no solution
When solving an absolute value equation we must now consider two possibilities:1. The value inside the absolute value is positive.2. The value inside the absolute value is negative.
Consider |x|=10 . What is a possible solution?
Ex. 1: Solve |x−3|=7 both algebraically and graphically.

Math 11 Pre-Calculus Chapter 7: Absolute Value and Reciprocal Functions
Solving absolute value equations:1. Consider the positive and negative case for each absolute value:
- CASE +: replace absolute value bars with brackets- CASE - : multiply the contents of the absolute value bars by -1
2. Solve each case.3. Check solution(s) by substituting the solution back into the ORIGINAL
equation. Reject any that do not work (extraneous roots!).
Ex. 2: Solve |2 x−5|=5−3 x
Ex. 3: Solve |3 x−4|+12=9
