Theory

For inequalities such as \(\left| {x - a} \right| \le x - b\), a graphical technique is the best method.

Let \(y = \left| {x - a} \right|\) and \(y = x - b\), draw the graphs and then calculate the points of intersection. These points will be the critical points, which will determine the regions where the inequality is valid.

Syllabus Reference

NSW Syllabus Reference: ME-F1.2 Inequalities. This will require student to 

  • solve quadratic inequalities using both algebraic and graphical techniques
  • solve inequalities involving rational expressions, including those with the unknown in the denominator
  • solve absolute value inequalities of the form \(|ax+b| \ge k,\, |ax+b| \le k,\, |ax+b| <k\) and \(|ax+b| > k\)
