-5<2x+1<-1 2012-11-11
Rahul pose la question :
How does -5<2x+1<-1 changes to 1<|2x+1|<5. What is the rule? Can we apply absolute value function throughout the first inequality i.e. can we say |-5|<|2x+1|<|-1|. But then it becomes 5<|2x+1|<1 which is impossible because 5 is not less than 1.

Linear inequalities with absolute values 2010-12-01
ryan pose la question :
Good day!
We we're given this assignment in algebra concerning linear inequalities with absolute value. In this number I'm confused how to isolate the absolute value, considering there is a variable in the absolute value and there is a variable in the outside.

2+5 |4-3t|+t ≤ -3-4t

Modelling the roof of a house 2010-03-23
Sandi pose la question :
This question has been haunting my dreams at night. It states the cross section of the roof of a house is modelled by the function y= -5\12|x-12|+5, where y>0 or y. Now I'm suppose to graph the function. b) Find the slope, height, length of sides, and base of the isosceles triangle. c)Explain what transformation must be applied to the graph of y=|x| to obtain the graph of y= -5\12|x-12|+5, where y>0 or y=0. 1st I put the equation into my calculator and graphed it. I got 10 for the height. We have had 2 sub teachers this past week. The first one told me the height should be 12 the other one told me 5. So I'm really confused. If I use my 10 units as height and the Pythagorean Theorem I get my sides to be 26 units the base 48 and my slope I calc to be 5/12. Both teachers are pretty sure I'm wrong and they are right but we all have different answers. Please help put this problem to rest so I can rest soundly at night. Thank you for your time.

Absolute value 2003-09-23
Crystal pose la question :
I am trying very hard to understand Absolute Value, and I cannot seem to grasp the idea. I do not know why we use it, what the point of it is. I do not know how to use it. I know that it is always positive or zero, and I assume it relates to distance, but how can you use it in equations. Please explain it to me as simply as possible, thank you.

|x+3| = -15x 2003-07-19
Nathan pose la question :
Without the use of trial and error, is there a way of solving for x where |x + 3| = -15x? I know that x = -0.1875, but how do I find whether x + 3 is positive or not if I did not have this information (In other words, how would I solve whether the x-value was -3 or less, or if it was more than -3)?

Taxicab geometry 2000-01-16
Jack pose la question :
Im doing an investigation entitled 'taxicab geometry', ive attempted it and have done most of the practical part of it. But i cant seem to see the equation behind it all. please guide me in the right direction.

They provide a regular grid with regular horizontal and vertical lines. The lines are roads and the actual squares are blocks of hoouses/ buildings.

In taxicab geometry the distance between place A & B is worked out by adding together the horizontal and vertical distances. each square is counted as i unit.

Part 1 (I've done this)

A taxix cab firm is based at A. the posistion B is 7 units away from A. investigate all the posistions of B at 7 units. investigate for different distances.
