Which graph represents the solution set for the inequality shown here? |x - 2| < 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, x-2 must <4 or x-2<-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, |x-2| is actually \(\sqrt{(x-2)^2}\) \( |x-2|>4\) \(\sqrt{(x-2)^2}>4\) squaring both sides, \((x-2)^2>16\) so, \(x-2>\pm 4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that would be graph C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, it's x−2<±4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which graph is that? I dont know how to read it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4<x-2<4 -2<x<6 the last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you
