Green Bridge Learning Resource For Modulus Inequalities

Overview

A modulus inequality asks not for an exact distance from zero, but for a range of distances: which values lie within a certain reach, or beyond it. The answer is always an interval or a pair of intervals, and once you see the distance picture, deciding which is effortless.

In this lesson you will solve \(|x|c\), then extend to expressions like \(|ax+b|
