Chapter 2: Q. 2.136 (page 199)

Solve: (a) $| x | = 11$
(b) $| y | = - 5$
(c) $| z | = 0$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required solution: (a) $x_{1} = - 11, x_{2} = 11$

(b) No solution

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

We have:

(a) $| x | = 11$

(b) $| y | = - 5$

Part (a). Step 1. Solve

We have:

$| x | = 11$

Apply absolute rule: $If | u | = a, a > 0 then u = a or u = - a$

$x = - 11$ or $x = 11$

Part (b). Step 1. Solve

We have:

$| y | = - 5$

Absolute value can not be less than $0 .$

Hence, no solution for $y \in R .$

Part (c) Step 1. Solve

We have:

$| z | = 0$

Apply absolute rule: If $| u | = 0$ then $u = 0$

$z = 0$
