solve the absolute value equation or indicate that the equation has no solution [x-2]=6
x= 8 or -4
can it be like[4,8] or [-4,8] or [-8]
I'm not exactly sure what your asking but if that question was on a math test I would think that writing x= 8,-4 or x= 8 or -4 should be sufficient answers
yaa its on a math test
If you are trying to answer it using interval notation, the correct way to write that would be [-4] U [8]
Alright well I wouldn't write it as [4,8] and for interval notation I do not thing that is what is asking for since it isn't an inequality.
actually no.my question is this solve the absolute value equation or indicate that the equation has no solution [x-2]=6 a=[4,8] b=(-4,8) c=(-8)
In that case I would say A because when it has parenthesis it usually indicates an ordered pair which these would not be.
and for why C is incorrect l-8-2l does not equal 6 it is 10
b is probably the answer though the notation would be incorrect. In interval notation, the first answer would mean 4 through 8 including 4 and 8, the second would mean everything between -4 through 8 but not including -4 and 8, and the last I guess would just mean -8, but in this case, I think b is intended to mean the answer set is -4 and 8, though they really should have used brackets instead of parentheses.
