Answer to Problem 25MCQ

The examples are |x−9|=6 , |x−2|=0 , |x−5|=−10 respectively.

Explanation of Solution

If an absolute value is equal to a negative number then there is no solution of that equation because absolute value of any number is never negative. On the other hand if an absolute value is equal to 0 , there is only one solution as only one value of x can cancel out other terms to make the value of absolute function equal to 0 . Lastly, if an absolute value is equal to a positive number then there are two solutions because absolute value function makes even the negative value positive and positive remains positive.

Examples:-

No solution: |x−5|=−10

One solution: |x−2|=0    (x=2)

Two solutions: |x−9|=6      (x=3,15)

Thus, examples are |x−9|=6 , |x−2|=0 , |x−5|=−10 respectively.
