I recommend for you to familiarize yourself with the parent graphs of y < |x| or y > |x|. The equations you posted are simply transformations of the parent graphs.

not everybody see's it to be "simple" i made a 55 i need help its my last class and then i graduate.

hero (hero):

I agree. They should make graphing technology more interactive. That way you could simply graph the parent function, then move it around the xy plane with your fingers and see intuitively the transformations taking place and the corresponding equations/inequalities associated with them.

math is hard. I've struggled with it all my life.

hero (hero):

The truth is, learning math is a delicate process. It requires the right balance of a student who is teachable and has an interest in the subject, a teacher who is able to competently express concepts at a level the student can understand, and access to the proper resources that are readily available.

hero (hero):

In addition, the student needs to be fed new information at a pace that is comfortable for him or her so that they don't get overwhelmed. None of this means that math is hard.

Lol, Math is hard. I don't understand it even if one were to explain it to me a thousand times.

hero (hero):

I just know that it isn't true. But you're speaking from your own experience. You apparently never met the person who could have shown you how easy it really is.

hero (hero):

The best thing you can do at the moment is use the graphing calculator at http://www.desmos.com

OpenStudy (anonymous):

obviously not. but you don't know that either.

hero (hero):

Have you tried using the calculator yet? It's the least you could attempt to do if you really care about graduating. All you have to do is simply enter the inequality of interest in to the equation box and the corresponding graph will magically appear.
