for all values of a

26
Q

How to work with absolute values

x + 3 | = 4x

A

Tree of possible outcomes
x + 3 = 4x
x + 3 = -4x

27
Q

5^18 + 100(5^16) vs 5^19

A

Divide both sides with the largest common factor, 5^16, to see that the quantities are equal

28
Q

a^2 - sqrt(a) vs 0, a > 0, a != 1

A

Classic trap! When picking numbers, remember to try fractions between 0 and 1, to find that the relationship cannot be determined.

29
Q

sqrt(a)/sqrt(b)

A

sqrt(a/b)

30
Q

Triangle inequality

A

a + b | <= | a | + | b |

31
