Solve the following systems of linear in equations: 1 ≤ |x – 2| ≤ 3 |
|
Answer» 1 ≤ |x - 2| and |x - 2| ≤ 3 When, |x - 2| ≥ 1 Then, x – 2 ≤ -1 and x -2 ≥ 1 Now when, x – 2 ≤ - 1 Adding 2 to both the sides in above equation x – 2 + 2 ≤ -1 + 2 x ≤ 1 Now when, x – 2 ≥ 1 Adding 2 to both the sides in above equation x – 2 + 2 ≥ 1 + 2 x ≥ 3 For |x – 2| ≥ 1: x ≤ 1 or x ≥ 3 When, |x - 2| ≤ 3 Then, x – 2 ≥ - 3 and x – 2 ≤ 3 Now when, x – 2 ≥ -3 Adding 2 to both the sides in above equation x – 2 + 2 ≥ -3 + 2 x ≥ -1 Now when, x – 2 ≤ 3 Adding 2 to both the sides in above equation x – 2 + 2 ≤ 3 + 2 x ≤ 5 For |x – 2| ≤ 3: x ≥ -1 or x ≤ 5 Combining the intervals: x ≤ 1 or x ≥ 3 and x ≥ -1 or x ≤ 5 Merging the overlapping intervals: -1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 3 ≤ x ≤ 5 Therefore, x ϵ [-1 ,1] Ս [3, 5] |
