Linear Inequalities and Absolute Value Inequalities · Exercise 54

Input the left-hand side of the inequality as a Y1 graph in your graphing utility. Enter y2 = the right-hand side. Entering the absolute value of an expression is found in the MATH menu, Num, 1:abs(. Find the points of intersection, recall (2^nd CALC 5:intersection, 1^st curve, enter, 2^nd curve, enter, guess, enter). Copy a sketch of the graph and shade the x-axis for your solution set to the inequality. Write final answers in interval notation.

$\left|x+2\right|-5<2$
