Question

absolute value x + 1

Answer 1

\[\left| x +1 \right|\]

Answer 2

why are u cursing at me?

Answer 3

wat do u want to do with this?

Answer 4

i have to write with absolute value so is the answer just x+1

Answer 5

carnak say ...... maybe

Answer 6

huh?

Answer 7

yep .... thats how we feel when you expect us to read your mind. Carnak is an old skit by johnny carson where he plays a psychic.

Answer 8

sorry i meant i have to write without absolute value

Answer 9

:) if all you have to do is remove the |...| then yeah, thats it. but its still hard to figure out what it is that you need for a good answer

Answer 10

absolute values tend to be piecewise defied functions; so i dont know if simply removing the bars is a good enough response

Answer 11

ok then what about this question:

Solve the inequality
\[\left| x + 5 \right|\ge2\]

Answer 12

\[|x+1|=\left[\begin{array}c x+1&x\ge-1\\-x-1&x\lt -1\end{array}\right]\] but i cant recall if that second part is good

Answer 13

WHOA OK!

Answer 14

|x+5| >/ 2

x+5 >/ 2 and -x-5 >/ 2
x >/ -3 -x >/ 7

x>/ -3 x </ -7

Answer 15

so i make the x+5 negative and not the 2 on the outside negative

Answer 16

solution for |x+5|≥2 is below.
if |x|>a then x<−a or x>a
so for \[\left| x+5 \right| \ge2\]there are two cases
\[x+5\le−2\]which implies\[x\le−7\]and
\[x+5\ge2\]which implies\[x\ge−3\]

Answer 17

then the solution set \[(-\infty,-7]\cup[-3,\infty)\]

Answer 18

for \[\left| x+1 \right |\]

\[\left| x+1 \right|= \left\{\begin{matrix}
-x-1 & x<-1\\
x+1 & x>-1
\end{matrix}\right. \]
