B Absolute Value Inequalities: Solving for x

AI Thread Summary
To solve absolute value inequalities, one must apply the properties of absolute values correctly. The next step typically involves setting up two separate inequalities based on the definition of absolute value. If the initial setup is correct, simplifying the inequality can lead to finding the values of x. It's important to ensure that any transformations maintain the inequality's integrity. Understanding these steps is crucial for successfully solving the problem.

If the last image were correct, you could just solve it with the nominator equivalent to zero, and even if it weren't, you could still multiply through by the denominator leaving the nominator less than or equal to 0, right? Assuming what I said is correct, then it shouldn't be too difficult to find the x values.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
