Math Problem Statement
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)
\begin{cases} 6x - 19, & \text{if } 6x - 19 \geq 0 \\ -(6x - 19), & \text{if } 6x - 19 < 0 \end{cases}$$
Rewrite using a piecewise definition: -
(b)
Calculate the value of and to compare: Since : -
(c)
\begin{cases} 2x - 4, & \text{if } 2x - 4 \geq 0 \\ -(2x - 4), & \text{if } 2x - 4 < 0 \end{cases}$$
Similar to (a):
Exercise 2
(1) Solve graphically:
For and , the solutions correspond to the points where the distance from to the given center equals the constant.
-
:
-
:
(2) Solve algebraically:
These steps are already included above.
Exercise 3
(1) Solve equations:
Solve each equation step by step.
-
:
Multiply through by 7: -
:
Consider cases:
(a) , (b) . -
:
No solution (absolute values are non-negative). -
:
Solve :
(2) Solve inequalities:
Proceed as in Exercise 1 by splitting into cases.
Exercise 4
Determine and for the intervals.
Exercise 5
(1) Simplify expressions:
Evaluate the given square roots.
(2) Solve inequalities step-by-step.
