EXAMPLE Using Absolute Value Inequalities to Describe Distances

Write each statement using an absolute value inequality.

(a)k is no less than 5 units from 8.
(b)n is within 0.001 unit of 6.

SOLUTION

(a)Since the distance from k to 8, written |k − 8| or |8 − k|, is no less than 5, the distance is greater than or equal to 5. This can be written as
(b)This statement indicates that the distance between n and 6 is less than 0.001.

q is no more than 8 units from 22.
