Math Problem Statement

The image contains various exercises on absolute value equations, inequalities, and interval operations.

Solution

Thanks for sharing the image! I'll analyze the exercises and solve them one by one. Let’s get started:


Exercise 1

Rewrite the expressions without using the absolute value symbol:

  • (a) A=6x19A = |6x - 19|
    Rewrite using a piecewise definition:

    \begin{cases} 6x - 19, & \text{if } 6x - 19 \geq 0 \\ -(6x - 19), & \text{if } 6x - 19 < 0 \end{cases}$$
  • (b) B=5582B = |5\sqrt{5} - 8\sqrt{2}|
    Calculate the value of 555\sqrt{5} and 828\sqrt{2} to compare: 5511.18,8211.315\sqrt{5} \approx 11.18, \quad 8\sqrt{2} \approx 11.31 Since 82>558\sqrt{2} > 5\sqrt{5}: B=(5582)=8255B = -(5\sqrt{5} - 8\sqrt{2}) = 8\sqrt{2} - 5\sqrt{5}

  • (c) C=2x4C = |2x - 4|
    Similar to (a):

    \begin{cases} 2x - 4, & \text{if } 2x - 4 \geq 0 \\ -(2x - 4), & \text{if } 2x - 4 < 0 \end{cases}$$

Exercise 2

(1) Solve graphically:
For x3=2|x - 3| = 2 and x+2=3|x + 2| = 3, the solutions correspond to the points where the distance from xx to the given center equals the constant.

  • x3=2|x - 3| = 2:
    x3=2orx3=2    x=5orx=1x - 3 = 2 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 3 = -2 \implies x = 5 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 1

  • x+2=3|x + 2| = 3:
    x+2=3orx+2=3    x=1orx=5x + 2 = 3 \quad \text{or} \quad x + 2 = -3 \implies x = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -5

(2) Solve algebraically:
These steps are already included above.


Exercise 3

(1) Solve equations:
Solve each equation step by step.

  • 2x37=2\frac{2x - 3}{7} = 2:
    Multiply through by 7: 2x3=14    2x=17    x=1722x - 3 = 14 \implies 2x = 17 \implies x = \frac{17}{2}

  • 3x+5=2x+3|3x + 5| = |-2x + 3|:
    Consider cases:
    (a) 3x+5=2x+33x + 5 = -2x + 3, (b) 3x+5=2x33x + 5 = 2x - 3.

  • x6=9|x - 6| = -9:
    No solution (absolute values are non-negative).

  • x+8=0|x + 8| = 0:
    Solve x+8=0x + 8 = 0: x=8x = -8

(2) Solve inequalities:
Proceed as in Exercise 1 by splitting into cases.


Exercise 4

Determine IJI \cap J and IJI \cup J for the intervals.


Exercise 5

(1) Simplify expressions:
Evaluate the given square roots.

(2) Solve inequalities step-by-step.

Questions to deepen understanding:

  1. What are the properties of absolute value that help in solving equations?
  2. How do piecewise functions simplify absolute value problems?
  3. Can you graph the equations in Exercise 2 on a number line?
  4. Why is x6=9|x - 6| = -9 unsolvable in real numbers?
  5. How does interval arithmetic work in union and intersection problems?

Tip:

For absolute value equations, always split into cases based on the definition of x|x|.
