Absolute Value
Represents the distance from zero on the number line, always non-negative regardless of the sign of the input.
Inequality
A mathematical statement comparing two values, indicating if one is less than, greater than, or equal to the other.
Compound Inequality
A statement combining two inequalities, often joined by 'and' or 'or', to describe a range of possible values.
Interval Notation
A concise way to express the set of solutions for an inequality, using brackets and parentheses to show inclusion or exclusion.
Bracket
A symbol used in interval notation to indicate that an endpoint is included in the solution set.
Parenthesis
A symbol in interval notation showing that an endpoint is not included in the solution set.
Closed Circle
A graphical marker on a number line indicating that a specific value is included in the solution.
Open Circle
A graphical marker on a number line showing that a specific value is not included in the solution.
Solution Set
The collection of all values that satisfy a given inequality or equation.
Special Case
A scenario in absolute value inequalities where the comparison involves zero or a negative number, requiring unique solution rules.
Three Part Inequality
An expression with three segments, such as -a < x < a, used to describe values between two endpoints.
Distance
A measure of how far a number is from zero, always non-negative and central to absolute value concepts.
All Real Numbers
A solution set that includes every possible value on the number line, often resulting from certain absolute value inequalities.
No Solution
A situation where no value satisfies the given inequality, typically when absolute value is compared to a negative.
Endpoint
A boundary value in interval notation or on a graph, marking the limits of a solution set.
