Question

Solve |P| > 3

{-3, 3}
-3 < P < 3
P < -3 or P > 3

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{\\ P<-3\ or\ P>3\}`

Explanation:

`\text{The absolute value:}\\\\|a|=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a&for&a\geq0\\-a&for&a<0\end{array}\right`

`|P|>3\iff P>3\ or\ P<-3`

Answer 2

P < -3 or P > 3

Explanation:

When we remove the absolute value bars, we take the positive value, and then flip the inequality and take the negative. Since the original equation is a greater than, we use the or

p > 3 or p < -3
