In today's class we discussed how to solve absolute value equations. We first discussed the ideas and how equations can be equal to a positive or negative result. We reviewed the steps to isolate the inequality, set up two cases, solve. At one point JPaul questioned the answers we got. I grabbed my solutions manual to check and the solutions we got were correct, but JPaul said "that wouldn't make sense bc an absolute value cannot result in a negative number." So we used the online calculator Wolfram Alpha to check. He was in fact, correct! Wolfram Alpha confirmed the equation we were trying to solve had NO solutions! I gave him a 1% bonus for that to be applied to his next quiz or Test.
