1/9/2008 Algebra 1 - Solving Absolute Value Equations & Inequalities

To begin class, we did a review assignment over the previous 3 sections.

Then 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 for notes, then students used those examples to help them complete the worksheet.
