Answer:
0 ≤ u < 7 and 0 > u > - 7 and combining those two we get - 7 < u < 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given inequality is |u| - 2 < 5 ....... (1)
We have to solve this inequality.
Now, from the definition of f(x) = |x| we get, f(x) = x, when x ≥ 0 and
f(x) = -x when x < 0.
Hence, for u ≥ 0, the equation of inequality (1) becomes
u - 2 < 5
⇒ u < 7
Therefore, the solution is 0 ≤ u < 7 (Answer)
Again, for u < 0, the equation of inequality (1) becomes
- u - 2 < 5
⇒ u + 2 > - 5
⇒ u > - 7
Therefore, the solution becomes 0 > u > - 7 (Answer)
