SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the mathematical concept of absolute value inequalities, specifically the inequality |x| > 0. It is established that x cannot equal 0, as this would invalidate the inequality. The solution confirms that x can take any real number value except for 0, effectively illustrating the interval on a number line as extending infinitely in both directions from 0.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of absolute value and its properties
  • Basic knowledge of inequalities
  • Familiarity with number line representations
  • Concept of real numbers
NEXT STEPS
  • Study absolute value inequalities in depth
  • Learn how to graph inequalities on a number line
  • Explore the implications of inequalities involving multiple variables
  • Review the properties of real numbers and their intervals
USEFUL FOR

Students studying algebra, educators teaching mathematical concepts, and anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of inequalities and absolute values.

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.

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.
