Equations and Inequalities of Modulus

This document discusses equations and inequalities involving modulus functions. It provides examples of: 1) Graphing modulus functions by reflecting the original function across the x-axis where it meets the x-axis. 2) Solving modulus equations of the form |a| = b, |a-b| = c, and solving quadratic modulus equations. 3) Solving modulus inequalities by representing them as two separate inequalities or by squaring both sides and solving.

EQUATIONS AND

INEQUALITIES OF
MODULUS
What are we discuss?
1. The graphs of modulus function.
2. The form 𝑎 = 𝑎
3. The form 𝑎 = 𝑏
4. The form 𝑥 − 𝑎 = 𝑏
5. The form 𝑥 − 𝑎 < 𝑏 or 𝑥 − 𝑎 > 𝑏

Modulus Function
A modulus function is a function that
changes the negative values to positive

𝑦= 𝑥
𝑦 = 𝑥+2
𝑦 = 𝑥+2 +2
“
◂ To construct the graph of a
modulus function you:
• Sketch the graph of the original
function where the graph meets
the x axis reflect it in the x axis
Modulus of quadratic

Modulus Equation

◂ The absolute value of modulus of a real number


a is denoted by |a| and can be defined as:

◂ As can be seen, |a| is the value of a without


regarding its sign and it is always positive or
zero.
From an analytic
geometry point of view,
the absolute value of a real
number is that number's
distance from zero along
the real number line.
Properties of absolute values
For real values of a and b (b ≠0):
◂ |a| ≥ 0
◂ |-a| = |a|
◂ |ab| = |a||b|
◂ |a/b|= |a|/|b|
◂ |an| = |a|n
◂ |a±b| ≠ |a| ± |b|
Example 1

Given that 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 , find the value


of 𝑓 1 .

Solution 1

𝑓 1 = 12 − 6(1) = −5 = 5

Solution 2

For the second For the first


intersection: intersection:

𝑥 + 2 = 2𝑥 + 2 𝑥 + 2 = −(2𝑥 + 2)
−𝑥 = 0 𝑥 + 2 = −2𝑥 − 2
𝑥=0 3𝑥 = −4

𝑥=−

Alternatively, we can
square both sides and
we get our answers
nevertheless.
|a| = |b| a2 = b 2
Solution 2

(𝑥 + 2)2 = (2𝑥 + 2)2


𝑥 + 2 𝑥 + 2 = (2𝑥 + 2)(2𝑥 + 2)
𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4 = 4𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 + 4
0 = 3𝑥 2 + 4𝑥
0 = 𝑥 3𝑥 + 4
𝑥 = 0 or 3𝑥 + 4 = 0

𝑥= −

Modulus Inequalities

◂ As general rules:

𝑥 − 𝑎 < 𝑏 is the same as −𝑏 < 𝑥 − 𝑎 < 𝑏

𝑥 − 𝑎 > 𝑏 is the same as 𝑥 − 𝑎 > 𝑏 or 𝑥 − 𝑎 < −𝑏

𝑥 − 𝑎 < 𝑥 − 𝑏 is the same as (𝑥 − 𝑎)2 < (𝑥 − 𝑏)2


e.g. 1 Solve the inequality x  2
Solution: Sketch the graphs of y  x and y  2
y
y x
We want the values of
y2 x where the red
A B
x x graph, y  x is
 x
above the blue one, y  2
2
2
The right hand branch of y  x has equation y = x.
So, B is where y = x meets y = 2. So, at B, x = 2.
The graph is symmetrical about the y-axis, so A is
x =  2.
So, x 2  x  2 or x  2
2 regions on the graph always means 2 inequalities.
Example 1

solve 𝑥 + 2 < 7

Solution 1

−7 < 𝑥 + 2 < 7
−7 − 2 < 𝑥 < 7 − 2
−9 < 𝑥 < 5
Example 2

solve 𝑥 − 2 >9

Solution 2

𝑥 − 2 > 9 or 𝑥 − 2 < −9
𝑥 > 11 or 𝑥 < −7
Example 3

solve 2𝑥 − 1 > 𝑥 − 3

Solution 3

(2𝑥 − 1)2 > (𝑥 − 3)2


4𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 1 > 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 9
3𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 8 > 0
3𝑥 + 4 𝑥 − 2 > 0

𝑥 < − or 𝑥 > 2

Example 4

Solve the inequality 𝑥 − 1 2
