Modulus functions :Modulus functions |4| = |-4| = |a| = b => |x - a| = b => |a| = |b| => |x - a| = |b| => 4 4 a = b (x – a) = b


Modulus inequalities :Modulus inequalities |x| |x| > 1 => |a| = b => + a = b -1 1


Quadratic inequalities :Quadratic inequalities Quadratic inequality (x - a)(x – b) where a is smaller than b (x – a)(x – b) > 0 = > a b or x


Solve |x – 3| < 7 :Solve |x – 3| -4 Answer is -4 < x < 10.


Solve |2x – 1| > 7 :Solve |2x – 1| > 7 (or) +(2x – 1) > 7 2x > 7 + 1 2x > 8 x > 4 -(2x – 1) > 7 -2x + 1 > 7 -2x > 7 - 1 -2x > 6 x 4


Solve 3x + 1 > |x – 5| :Solve 3x + 1 > |x – 5| (or) 3x + 1 > - (x – 5) 3x + 1 > - x + 5 4x > 4 x > 1 3x + 1 > +(x – 5) 3x + 1 > +x – 5 2x > - 6 x > - 3 0 2 CHECK FOR x = 0 3x + 1 > |x – 5| 3(0) + 1 > |0 – 5| 1 > 5 (FALSE) Since it’s wrong, therefore Reject x > -3 Therefore answer is x > 1


Solve |x – 3| > 2x + 1 :Solve |x – 3| > 2x + 1 +(x – 3) > 2x + 1 + x – 3 > 2x + 1 -x > 4 x 2x + 1 - x + 3 > 2x + 1 -3x > - 2 x 2x + 1 |0 – 3| > 2(0) + 1 3 > 1 (TRUE) Since it’s correct, therefore x < 2 3


Solve |2x - 3| < |x + 1| :Solve |2x - 3| <


Solve |2x - 3| > |x + 1| :Solve |2x - 3| > |x + 1| |a| = |b| => >
