OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First, solve the inequality. Let's think about it. What is the absolute value of 0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i think the answer is \[(-\infty,\infty)\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means you're not sure ? :P

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You are correct. Since the absolute value of any number is greater than or equal to zero, then it certainly is greater than -3. That means the solution is all real numbers.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

That is the correct interval notation for all real numbers.
