Algebra: Chapter 9, Lesson 4, page 413.

Inequalities and Absolute Value

If the inequality with absolute values looks like: `| A | < b`, then we solve the conjunction `-b < A < b`. Think of a number line, and the solution will be within the bounds of `-b` and `b`. This also works with `≤`.

If the inequality with absolute values look like: `| A | > b`, then we solve the disjunction `A < -b` OR `A > b`. On the number line, these solutions look like arrows on the outside of the values `-b` and `b`. This works for `≥` as well.

Graphing Equations

We can graph an equation, by building a T-chart of values for both x and y. You can choose any values for `x ` and `y` when making your T-chart. I like to use values like 0, 1, and 2. Make them easy and try to pick AT LEAST 3 points when graphing and equation. YOU MUST USE A RULER WHEN CONNECTING THE DOTS TOO!

Sometimes, it can be easier when building the T-chart to “solve for `y`” first, this just cuts down on the workload. Solving for `y` means isolating the `y` variable to one side of the equation and keeping the constants and ALL other variables on the other side.

Here are 2 good links from purplemath.com, the first about graphing in general (lesson 1) and the second about the T-charts and lesson 2!
