Krucifax: Okay here's one for the board. Solve below using equations of absolute value


a) | x | = 5

b) | x - 2 | = 7

c) | 89 x + 4 | = -2

d) | -11 x - 9 | = 0

e) 2 | x + 5 | = 10

f) 3 | -9 x - 7 | - 2 = 13

g) -5 | -x + 2 | + 8 = -12

h) | -3 x - 2 | / 3 = 7

i) | (x - 5) / 4 | = 6

j) | x + 1 | = |-4 x + 3|

k) | x + 3 | = - |-x - 3 |
Note: |x|=a then -a=x=a

A. |x|=5
-5=x or x=5

B. |x-2|=7
-7=x-2=7
-7=x-2 or x-2=7
-5=x or x=9

C. |89x+4|=-2
2=89x+4=-2
2=89x+4 or 89x+4=-2
X=-2/89 or x=-6/89
Absolute value not -ve
No solution

D. |-11x-9|=0
0=-11x-9=0
X=-9/11

E. 2|x+5|=10
Divide both sides by 2
|x+5|=5
-5=x+5=5
-5=x+5 or x+5=5
X=-10 or x=0

F. 3|-9x-7|-2=13
3|-9x-7|=15
Divide bothsides by 3
|-9x-7|=5
-5=-9x-7=5
-5=-9x-7 or -9x-7=5
X=-2/9 0r x=-12/9=-4/3

G. -5|-x+2|+8=-12
-5|-x+2|=-20
Divide both sides by -5
|-x+2|=4
-4=-x+2=4
-4=-x+2 or -x+2=4
X=6 or x=-2

H. |-3x-2|/3=7
Cross multiply
|-3x-2|=21
-21=-3x-2=21
-21=-3x-2 or -3x-2=21
X=19/3 or x= -23/3


I. |x-5|/4=6
Cross multiply
|x-5|=24
-24=x-5=24
-24=x-5 or x-5=24
X=-19 or x=29


J. |x+1|=|-4x+3|
-(-4x+3)=x+1=-4x+3
4x-3=x+1 or x+1=-4x+3
X=4/3 or x=2/5


K. |x+3|=-|-x-3|
-{-(-x-3)}=x+3=-(-x-3)
-x-3=x+3 or x+3=x+3
X=-3.

ositadima1: I am going to answer a few selected question, not easy to type this stuff on a phone.

(a) |x|=5

x=5 or -x=5
Two possible cases as absolute values are either positive or negative

x=5 or x=-5
(b) |x-2|=7

x-2=7 or -(x-2)=7
x=9 or x-2=-7
x=9 or x=-5
(c) |89x+4|=-2
No need solving ..

(d) |-11x-9|=0
-11x-9=0
x=-9/11
Now this big motherfu.cker
(j) |x+1|=|-4x+3|

x+1=|-4x+3|

x+1=-4x+3 or x+1=-(-4x+3)
5x=2 or x+1=4x-3
x=2/5 or 3x=4
x=2/5 or x=4/3

Ok, others are not as bad azz as this one^^^

EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by 1stknight(m): 1:15pm On Jan 03, 2013
dabrake: that's something about mathematics. I believe people say 0/0 = undefined because it can give you any value. Take for instance.

0/0 = (81 - 81)/(81 - 81) //81-81=0
=[(9 + 9)(9 - 9)]/9(9 -9) // 81 - 81 = 92 - 92(law of difference of 2 squares)
=(9 + 9)(9 - 9)/9(9 -9)
=(9 + 9)/9
= 2

now saying 0/0 = 12
0/0 = (144-144)/(24-24) // 144-144 =0 ; 24-24 =0
= (122-122)/2(12-12)
= (12+12)(12-12)/2(12-12)
= (12+12)/2
= 12


You see, you can always get any answer. Deceptive subject
Brother mathematics is not deceptive, because you can't get any constant value for a particular real number i.e a/b is what makes it UNDEFINED. Unlike 2/4=1/2, 0/0=undefined.
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by 1stknight(m): 11:39am On Jan 03, 2013
dabrake: @ op, show that 0/0 = 12
I believe that your equation is logically correct, if 0/0=c no matter the value of c you will still get the same answer. Therefore, 0/0 does not mean any particular number - or even anything until we give it some new meaning. And you my brother gave the value to be 12 and bro I can as well as you to cross multiply to make 0=0.
Bottom line is 0/0 is nothing
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by 1stknight(m): 11:20am On Jan 03, 2013
solomon111: The fifth equation follows the principle/laws of logarithm.
E.g
1)logx +logy =logxy
2)alogx +blogy=ablogxy.
3)logx-logy=logx/logy
Ok thanks, your 2nd equation just help

SMH at people that doesns 't know what Ubuntu is.
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by 1stknight(m): 10:32pm On Jan 01, 2013
Youngsage: x + y =5 -------- eqn i.
x^x + y^y=31 ----- eqn ii.
From equatns i & ii, take the log of both sides
(xlog^x + ylog^y) = log 31------ eqn iii.
logx + logy = log 5 ------------ eqn iv.
xylogxy= log 31 -------- eqn v.
log xy = log 5 --------- eqn vi.
(Using elimination method);
xylog5 = log31
xy = log 31/log 5 =6.2 approx. 6.

Recall, from eqn i, x + y = 5.
So x = 6/y or y = 6/x.
Therefore x=2 when y=3.
ans: x=2, and y=3.
Bro pls I don 't understand how you got the fifth equation.

tempex88: Exams are no thorough test of knowledge and i have discovered 70% of what is learnt in school is either obsolete or can not be applied in a real life situation.
Micheal Faraday had no formal Education
Aliko dangote had no formal education
Bill gates abadoned formal university education
.
.
.
The list is endless
so for me education has nothing to do with smartness and brilliance
And who told you that Aliko Dangote had no formal education, you guys just look for a way to rubbish education, why don 't you talk about Alan Page and Sergey Brin(Google founders), 'cos they have phD in Computer science.
