5. Inequalities Involving Absolute Value
Sign In
Create an or
compound inequality because the absolute value is greater than or equal to the given value.
Solution Set: {h | h≤- 3 or h≥ 6}
Graph:
Let's isolate h 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:& h≥ 6 Second Solution Set:& h≤ - 3 Combined Solution Set:& h≤ - 3 or h≥ 6
The graph of this inequality includes all values less than or equal to - 3 or greater than or equal to 6. We show this by keeping the endpoints closed.
