Question

can anyone explain what a absolute value equation is ?

Answer 1

when you have | f(x) | = a

that means f(x) = a and f(x) = -a

that's the basic concept

Answer 2

i dont get what you are saying

Answer 3

for example you have

| x | = 2

the value of x is x = 2 AND x = -2

Answer 4

if you have | x | = 3

value of x is x = 3 and x = -3

Answer 5

when you have | x + 1 | = 1

then you ahve x + 1 = 1 and x + 1 = -1

so x = 0 and x = -2
