options: Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.

Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Consider the three situations shown below.
$${|x|=5}$$
$${|x|<5}$$
$${|x|>5}$$
For each situation, let
$${{f(x)}=|x|}$$
and
$${{g(x)}=5}$$
. Graph each relationship between
$${f(x)}$$
and
$${g(x)}$$
in the coordinate plane and then use each graph to determine the solution to each situation.
Problem 2
Solve each absolute value inequality algebraically and verify the solution graphically.
a.
$${\left|x-{1\over2}\right|<3}$$
b.
$${\left|2x\right|>{7\over2}}$$
c.
$${\left|{1\over3}x\right|-4<-1}$$
