The first possibility is described by the inequality:
If you think of a number line, it is evident that there is no solution to this inequality since there will never be a case where subtracting from
The second possibility, wherein
We can simplify this inequality to find that
The third possibility can be represented by the following inequality (where the sign is inverted due to multiplication by a negative):
This is again simplified to
The final possibility is represented by the inequality
This inequality simplifies to
The only possible condition that satisfies the inequality is that which arises in two of the tested cases, when
Example Question #1 :一个bsolute Value
What is the absolute value of -3?
9
1
-3
10
3
3
The absolute value is the distance from a given number to 0. In our example, we are given -3. This number is 3 units away from 0, and thus the absolute value of -3 is 3.
If a number is negative, its absolute value will be the positive number with the same magnitude. If a number is positive, it will be its own absolute value.
