Intersection and Union in Absolute Value Inequalities
Let us understand how we can take Intersection and Union in Absolute Value Inequalities.
Union of Inequalities
For a given set of values, if the inequality is x>=a or x<b then we need to find the union of the values of x which can be given by
Case 1: x >= a or x < b
{x: x < b U x ≥ a}
Case 2: x < a or x >= b
{x: x <a U x ≥ b} = {x: x < a}∪{x: x ≥ b}.
The solution i.e. the union can be calculated using graph. Consider the example x <= 3 || x >= -4 , then the union of the inequalities will give an overlapping interval which will include all real numbers as shown below.
Intersection of Inequalities
For a given set of values, if the inequality is x >= a and x < b then we need to find the intersection of the values of x which can be given by
Case 1: a <= x < b
{x: a≤x < b}
Case 2: a <= x U b > x
{x: a ≤ x U x < b}
The solution i.e. the intersection can be calculated using graph. Consider the example x <= 4 U x >= -5 , then the intersection of the inequalities will give an interval which will include all real numbers from -5 and 4 as shown below.
