How to open mod and cocept of mod and mod inequality please tell
(quantity inside mod value) < -(number on other side)
OR
(quantity inside mod value) > (number on other side)
The same setup is used for a ³ sign.
Example :
|x + 5| - 8 < 17
Step 1: Isolate the mod value | |x + 5| - 8 < 17 |x + 5| < 25 |
Step 2: Is the number on the other side negative? | No, it’s a positive number, 25. We’ll move on to step 3. |
Step 3: Set up a compound inequality | The inequality sign in our problem is a less than sign, so we will set up a 3-part inequality: -25 < x + 5 < 25 |
Step 4: Solve the compound inequality | -30 < x < 20 |
