Absolute Value Inequalities: Less Than

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

For positive k, the inequality |X| < k means −k < X < k: the inside expression is trapped within k of zero.

Show

|x| < 5 unpacks to −5 < x < 5, the interval (−5, 5). Test x = 0: inside and true; x = 6: outside and false.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
