1/11/07 Algebra 1

Today we talked about solving absolute value equations and inequalities. See some examples here. An absolute value equation looks like the following: |2x-1|=8
Our objectives are:

1) Set up 2 equations to solve an absolute value equation
2) Solve an absolute value equation
3) Set up 2 inequalities to solve an absolute value inequality
4) Solve an absolute value inequality

I did some example problems on the board (today was the first day of graded note taking) and then students started the worksheet that is due for Tuesday.

Homework:
