Create an or
compound inequality because the absolute value needs to be greater than the given value.
Solution Set: f< 3 or f>3
Graph:
Now, we will create a compound inequality by removing the absolute value. In this case, the solution set is any number with a distance greater than 0 away from the midpoint in the positive direction or a distance greater than 0 away from the midpoint in the negative direction. - f+3 > 0 or - f+3 < 0 Let's isolate f in both of these cases before graphing the solution set.
The solution to this type of compound inequality is the combination of the solution sets. First Solution Set:& f< 3 Second Solution Set:& f> 3 Combined Solution Set:& f< 3 or f>3
The graph of this inequality includes all values less than 3 or greater than 3. The only value that is not included in this solution set is 3 itself. We show this by using an open circle on the endpoint.
