    Interval
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on representing the interval defined by the inequality |x| > 0 on a number line. It establishes that x cannot equal 0, as this would make the inequality false. The correct representation shows all numbers except 0 on the number line. Participants confirm the accuracy of this representation. The thread emphasizes the importance of including work in posted questions for clarity.

Show interval on number line.

|x| > 0

Solution:

Here, x cannot be 0. If x is 0, |x| > 0 is not a true statement.

We know that x can be any number other than 0.

Correct?

All my posted questions will have some work with it. Of course, there are questions that I simply do not know or remember how to begin.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
