Solving Equations and Inequalities

Lesson summary

Lesson summary

  • |x| = a gives x = a or x = −a when a > 0.
  • |x| < a means −a < x < a, and |x| > a means x > a or x < −a.
  • A quadratic inequality is solved by factorising and then using a sign table.
  • Always check the solution, especially when using two cases.
