1. 1-4 Absolute Value Equations Objectives: To solve inequalities using absolute value and to solve problems by making lists.

2. Hyper vs. Hypo Hypothermia and hyperthermia are similar words but have opposite meanings. Hypothermia is defined as a lowered body temperature. Hyperthermia is an extremely high body temperature. Both are potentially dangerous conditions, and can occur when a person’s body temperature is more 8 degrees above or below the normal body temperature of 98.6. At what temperatures do these conditions begin to occur?

3. Evaluate an Expression with Absolute Value: Example 1 Evaluate each of the following: Ex 1:8.4 - |2n + 5| if n = -7.5 Ex 2: |4x +3 | - 3½ if x = -2 Ex 3: 1¼ - |2y + 1| if y = -¾

5. Absolute Value Definition: For any real number a: if a > 0 then |a| = a if a < 0 then |a| = -a The absolute value of a number is its distance to 0 on a number line.

6. Example 2: Solve an Absolute Value Equation A standard adult tennis racket has a 100 square-inch head, plus or minus 20 square inches. Write and solve an absolute value equation to determine the least and greatest possible sizes for the head of an adult racket. 2A: 9 = | x + 12| 2B: 8 = | y + 5|

7. What is the absolute value of x – 15? Make a list of the possible cases: Case 1: If x > 15 then x – 15 > 0 so, x – 15 = x – 15 Case 2: If x is less than 15 then x – 15 < 0 so, x – 15 = -(x – 15) or 15 – x
