Problems from Absolute value of a real number

Calculate:

  1. |0,75|
  2. |1513|
  3. |3896|
See development and solution

Development:

  1. |0.75|=max(0.75,0.75)=0.75

  2. |1513|=|3515|=|215|=215

  3. |3896|=|38||96|=|3||8|96=3896

Solution:

  1. 0,75
  2. 215
  3. 3896

Say if the following inequalities are true or false:

  1. |1223+15|<0,6
  2. |13(17+25)|<1935
See development and solution

Development:

  1. |1223+15|=|1520+630|=|130|=130

    0,6=610=35, and to be able to compare both fractions, we do 35=1830, then it is easy to see that 130<1830

  2. We calculate first: |13(17+25)|=|13||17+25|=13|5+1435|=131935 and as 13<1, we have that 131935<1935.

Solution:

  1. True.
  2. True.
