Absolute value inequalities?
What's your question? To solve an absolute value inequality, knowledge of absolute values and solving inequalities are necessary. Absolute value inequalities can have one or two variables.
How can you tell what kind of compound inequality an absolute value inequality will represent?
If the absolute value inequality is of the form where the absolute value of the difference between a variable (X) and some constant (a) is compared to another constant (b) eg |X - a| compared with b, then if the comparison is < or ≤, the compound inequality is a double inequality of the form c < X < d (or ≤), and if the comparison is > or ≥, the compound inequality is a disjoint inequality of the form X < c or X > d (or including the equals). In both cases, c = b - a, d = b + a (>c)
Absolute Inequality 3 plus 4 absolute value of 3x plus 7 is less than or equal to -89?
Do you mean 3 + 4|3x + 7| ≤ - 89? There is no solution to the inequality, since it is a false statement. A positive number cannot be equal or less than a negative number. On the left side, you are dealing only with positive numbers, since the absolute value is always positive, no matter what the values of x are.
What is the absolute number for 3.2?
If you mean the absolute value: the absolute value of a positive number is the number itself, in this case, 3.2.
Is absolute value of any number positive?
No. The absolute value is non-negative but, to be pedantic, that does not mean positive. The absolute value of 0 is 0 which is NOT positive.
