2. If , show that | | || || if and only if .
Proof:
Given | | || ||
(| |)

(|| ||)

( )

||

|||| ||

||

||

||||

||||
||||
||||
Since || || , then |||| .
So, |||| .
Given .
implies that ab = 0 or ab > 0.
ab = 0 implies a = 0 or b = 0.
for a = 0 then | | | | || || || || ||
for b = 0 then | | | | || || || || ||

ab > 0implies a > 0 and b > 0.
Thus, a+b > 0. So that | | || ||

4. Show that | | if and only if
Proof:
| |
()
( ())
(() )
.

6. Find all that satisfy the following inequalities:
a. | |
b. |

|
Solution :
a. | |

()

So, the solution set of the inequalities above is SS:={|

}.
b. |

Since

, then

is unusefull boundary
So,

So, the SS:= *| +


7. Find all that satisfy the equation | | | | .
Solution :
In this problem, we can separate it into three cases:
i.)
ii.)
iii.)

i.) For x < -1, we get ( ) (( ))




(

) (

)

ii.)For , we get ( ) (( ))


Since this statement is false, no value of x from case (ii) that satisfies the equality.
iii.) For , we get ( ) ( )





From i, ii, iii, we can conclude that the value of x that satisfies the equation are -3 or 4 and it can
be denoted by SS:= *| +
