Write the given statement using absolute value notation.
Given information:
Statement is:
“The distance between x and c is less than d units.”
Formula used:
- Absolute value is representation on either side of the expression given by two parallel line.
- a less than b is represented as:
Absolute value x means:
For example, if the distance between x and y is a this is represented by absolute value notation as:
Calculation:
To write the given statement using absolute value notation first note that for any x :
Now, note that the distance between x and y is a this is represented by absolute value notation as:
Here, the given statement is:
“The distance between x and c is less than d units.”
First note that the distance between x and c is represented as:
It’s absolute notation is:
Now since the representation of a less than b is represented as:
Thus, distance between x and c is less than d units in absolute value notation is represented by:
Thus, the absolute value notation of the given statement is:
