Guide 3 Equations/Vics pg 151

by douglas_longo Wed Apr 07, 2010 10:01 pm

pg 151, Complex Absolute Value Expressions.

Bottom right of the page, the book checks answer x=5/3 for validity in Case B:

(x-2)= -(2x-3) they say =1/3.

Can you check this answer and see if it's correct? I think there may be a typo.

Thx,

There is a typo on this page.

The bottom right should say:
|2(5/3) - 3| = 1/3

This is in the errata page:
