Absolute value equations

Penjelasan langkah demi langkah

1. Rewrite the equation without absolute value bars

Use the rules:
|x|=|y|x=±y and |x|=|y|±x=y
to write all four options of the equation
|3u2|=|3u|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||3u2|=|3u|
x=+y(3u2)=(3u)
x=y(3u2)=(3u)
+x=y(3u2)=(3u)
x=y(3u2)=(3u)

When simplified, equations x=+y and +x=y are the same and equations x=y and x=y are the same, so we end up with only 2 equations:

|x|=|y||3u2|=|3u|
x=+y , +x=y(3u2)=(3u)
x=y , x=y(3u2)=(3u)

2. Solve the two equations for u

4 additional steps

(3u-2)=3u

Subtract from both sides:

(3u-2)-3u=(3u)-3u

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(3u-3u)-2=(3u)-3u

Permudahkan aritmetik:

-2=(3u)-3u

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2=0

Pernyataan ini palsu:

2=0

The equation is false so it has no solution.

9 additional steps

(3u-2)=-3u

Add to both sides:

(3u-2)+2=(-3u)+2

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3u=(-3u)+2

Add to both sides:

(3u)+3u=((-3u)+2)+3u

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6u=((-3u)+2)+3u

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

6u=(-3u+3u)+2

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6u=2

Divide both sides by :

(6u)6=26

Permudahkan pecahan:

u=26

u=13

3. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|3u2|
y=|3u|
The equation is true where the two lines cross.

We encounter absolute values almost daily. For example: If you walk 3 miles to school, do you also walk minus 3 miles when you go back home? The answer is no because distances use absolute value. The absolute value of the distance between home and school is 3 miles, there or back.
In short, absolute values help us deal with concepts like distance, ranges of possible values, and deviation from a set value.
