2. domain
3. range
4. extreme points
Problem Set Write an absolute value equation or inequality to model the situation.
1. You leave your house and travel on the highway for 200 miles. A sign says the next
rest stop is 50 miles in either direction. Write an equation to model the situation,
where x represents the distance you are from your house if you travel in either
direction to the rest stop.
|x � 200| � 50
2. You buy a calculator for $50. Your friend claims that there is a $40 difference between
the price of her calculator and the price of your calculator. Write an equation to model the
situation, where c represents the price of your friend’s calculator.
3. Maria buys an autographed baseball for $50. The difference between what she paid
for the baseball and what she sells it for must be less than $10. Write an inequality
to model the situation, where x represents the amount she sells the baseball for.
