The equation |x + 2| = |x - 2| implies two geometric situations: x is equidistant from both -2 and 2. Solving gives: either x + 2 = x - 2 or x + 2 = - (x - 2). The first is contradictory, but the second simplifies to x = 0. This equality typifies symmetry over x = 0, thus concluding its solution set as {0} .
To analyze |x² + 3x| > 2 – x², we check when x² + 3x should maintain greater magnitude than 2 - x² and evaluate different polynomial expressions for both positives and negatives. Critical points such as when expressions equal zero are found, and inequalities checked between intervals defined by these roots. The solution set turns out to be (–∞, –4) ∪ (1, 2).
The solution set of |x| < 2 is the interval (-2, 2). The inequality |x - 3| < 5 translates to x being within 5 units of 3, thus the interval (-2, 8). The intersection of these two solution sets is the overlap of the intervals (-2, 2) and (-2, 8), which results in the interval (-2, 2).
To solve |x² - 3x + 1| < 1, we need to find the values of x where the expression x² - 3x + 1 lies between -1 and 1. This gives us the compound inequality -1 < x² - 3x + 1 < 1. Solving these inequalities separately, we solve x² - 3x + 1 > -1 and x² - 3x + 1 < 1. The solution to these inequalities is the overlapping interval of these solutions. The solution set is (0, 1) ∪ (2, 3).
The inequality |x – 2| ≤ |x + 4| compares the distances of x from 2 and -4. To solve, we identify points such as where the distances are equal and analyze the sign changes across these points. By breaking the number line into intervals such as x < -4, -4 ≤ x < 2, and x ≥ 2, we test these regions to satisfy the inequality. The solution set is x ∈ [–1, ∞).
The equation 2x + |x| = 0 can be evaluated by considering the definition of the absolute value function. If x ≥ 0, then |x| = x, resulting in 2x + x = 0, which implies x = 0 is a solution. If x < 0, |x| = -x, resulting in 2x - x = 0, leading to no additional solutions. Thus, the solution set is x ∈ (-∞, 0].
To solve |2x + 3| – |2x – 5| = 6, consider cases based on those affecting the signs in the absolute values: 2x + 3 ≥ 0 and 2x - 5 ≥ 0, leading to regions such as x ≥ -3/2 and x ≥ 5/2. Solving in these partitions and verifying solutions yields the results such as when 2x + 3 is non-negative and 2x - 5 is negative, resulting in solutions like x = 2 .
The equation |x| + |x – 1| = 5 is evaluated based on the critical points 0 and 1, which change the definition format of the absolute values. There are two solution cases: for x ≥ 1 and x < 0. Solving in these defined regions by testing potential solution intervals yields solutions x = -3 and x = 6, indicating 2 solutions in total .
For simultaneous satisfaction of |x| ≥ 1 and |x - 1| < 3, the regions where these conditions overlap are analyzed. |x| ≥ 1 covers x ≤ -1 or x ≥ 1. |x - 1| < 3 implies -2 < x < 4. The intersection of these intervals is obtained by verifying which x-value remains within both satisfied intervals, yielding (-2, -1] ∪ [1, 4) as the solution .
