solutions to an equation make the equation a true statement. This mathematical understanding is necessary for students to be able to check
their results.
Developing Math Language
An absolute value equation is an equation involving an absolute value of an expression containing a variable. Just like when solving
algebraic equations without absolute value bars, the goal is to isolate the variable. In this case, isolate the absolute value bars because they
contain the variable. It should be emphasized that when solving absolute value equations, students must think of two cases, as there are two
numbers that have a specific distance from zero on a number line.
1 Identify a Subtask, Quickwrite
When solving absolute value equations, students may not see the purpose in creating two equations. Reviewing the definition of the absolute
value function as a piecewise-defined function with two rules may enable students to see the reason why two equations are necessary.
Have students look back at Try These A, parts c and d. Have volunteers construct a graph of the two piecewise-defined functions used to
write each equation and then discuss how the solution set is represented by the graph.
Example B Marking the Text, Simplify the Problem, Critique Reasoning, Group Presentation
Start with emphasizing the word vary in the Example, discussing what it means when something varies. You may wish to present a simpler
example such as: The average cost of a pound of coffee is $8. However, the cost sometimes varies by $1. This means that the coffee could
cost as little as $7 per pound or as much as $9 per pound. Now have students work in small groups to examine and solve Example B by
implementing an absolute value equation. Additionally, ask them to take the problem a step further and graph its solution on a number line.
Have groups present their findings to the class.
ELL Support
For those students for whom English is a second language, explain that the word varies in mathematics means changes. There are different
ways of thinking about how values can vary. Values can vary upward or downward, less than or greater than, in a positive direction or a
negative direction, and so on. However, the importance comes in realizing that there are two different directions, regardless of how you think
of it.
Also address the word extremes as it pertains to mathematics. An extreme value is a maximum value if it is the largest possible amount
(greatest value), and an extreme value is a minimum value if it is the smallest possible amount (least value).
Developing Math Language
An absolute value inequality is basically the same as an absolute value equation, except that the equal sign is now an inequality symbol: <,

>, ≤, ≥, or ≠. It still involves an absolute value expression that contains a variable, just like before. Use graphs on a number line of the
solutions of simple equations and inequalities and absolute value equations and inequalities to show how these are all related.
Example C Simplify the Problem, Debriefing
Before addressing Example C, discuss the following: Inequalities with |A| > b, where b is a positive number, are known as disjunctions
and are written as A < –b or A > b.
For example, |x| > 5 means the value of the variable x is more than 5 units away from the origin (zero) on a number line. The solution is x
< – 5 or x > 5.
See graph A.
This also holds true for |A| ≥ b.
Inequalities with |A| < b, where b is a positive number, are known as conjunctions and are written as –b < A < b, or as –b < A and A < b.
For example: |x| < 5; this means the value of the variable x is less than 5 units away from the origin (zero) on a number line. The solution
is –5 < x < 5.
See graph B.
This also holds true for |A| ≤ b.
Students can apply these generalizations to Example C. Point out that they should proceed to solve these just as they would an algebraic
equation, except in two parts, as shown above. After they have some time to work through parts a and b, discuss the solutions with the
whole class.
Teacher to Teacher
Another method for solving inequalities relies on the geometric definition of absolute value |x – a| as the distance from x to a. Here’s how
you can solve the inequality in the example:
Thus, the solution set is all values of x whose distance from is greater than . The solution can be represented on a number line and written
as x < –4 or x > 1.

value equations and inequalities and graphing the solutions of absolute value equations and inequalities. If students are still having
difficulty, review the process of rewriting an absolute value equation or inequality as two equations or inequalities.
Activity Standards Focus
In Activity 15, students learn how to perform operations with polynomials including addition, subtraction, multiplication, long division,
and synthetic division. Because polynomials may have several terms, emphasize to students the importance of performing polynomial
operations carefully so that no terms are skipped

Bell-Ringer Activity
Ask students to evaluate the function f(x) = 2x3 − 3x2 + 1 for each value.
1. f(0) [f(0) = 1]
2. f(1) [f(1) = 0]
3. f(−3) [f(−3) = −80]
4. f(7) [f(7) = 540]
5. f(1.5) [f(1.5) = 1]
Teacher to Teacher
This guided exploration introduces students to polynomial operations, initially set in a real-world context. Review the meanings of
terms such as revenue and operating costs as needed to help students understand the scenario. The context has a discrete domain in
order to keep calculations simple and to allow explorations through tables, graphs, and analytic methods. However, students should
be comfortable with adding continuous functions as well.
1–5 Discussion Groups, Create Representations, Think-Pair-Share, Self Revision/Peer Revision, Debriefing
Have groups brainstorm and find methods for solutions, such as by using a table, a graph, or analytic methods. Choose groups that
represent a spectrum of solution methods to share with the entire class. Monitor presentations to ensure that students are using
appropriate words and clearly explaining their solution methods. For Item 5, ask students to justify that their answer is reasonable.
Common Core State Standards for Activity 15
HSA-APR.A.1 Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the
operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

in the form q(x) +
, where a(x), b(x),
q(x), and r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using inspection, long division, or, for the
more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.
6–7 Create Representations, Debriefing
Item 7 is designed to help students see the connection between a graphic representation of the sum of two polynomial functions
and the process of adding two functions algebraically. The round dots represent the values of the function K(t). The square dots
represent the values of the function F(t). Students should be able to use the graph to plot the points for S(t). If students do not see
how to find the points of S(t) graphically, help them make the connection by adding the value of one function to the value of the
other at every point.
Differentiating Instruction
Some students may need a table of values for all 12 months to correctly graph S(t). If so, have them create and complete a new
table for months 6-12.
Check Your Understanding
Debrief students’ answers to these items to ensure that they understand within the context of the problem why S(t) is greater than
both K(t) and F(t) at every point. Ask students whether this will always be true when adding two polynomial functions.
12–13 Create Representations, Discussion Groups, Debriefing
The same context is used to introduce students to polynomial subtraction. Ask students to suggest a title for the table used in Item
13, and be sure students can describe what each column in the table represents. Students should be able to easily translate between
algebraic representations and context.
Have student groups discuss and answer the following questions:
During which month was revenue the greatest? Give a possible explanation why that month’s revenue is the greatest.
What might account for the fluctuation in costs each month?
Would you say that Polly’s business is successful based on the information in the table? Explain.
Encourage all group members to share their ideas and opinions. Groups should listen to all members before reaching consensus.

This item extends the concept of the Distributive Property to polynomials with more than two terms. Mini-Lesson: Use a
Graphic Organizer to Multiply Polynomials can help students keep track of partial products.
Universal Access
Sometimes it is difficult for students to see what was done from one step to the next when simplifying an expression. Ask
students to identify what has changed from one line to the next. This may help them understand what step was taken to get
there.
MINI-LESSON: Use a Graphic Organizer to Multiply Polynomials
If students need additional help multiplying polynomials, a mini-lesson is available to provide practice.
See the Teacher Resources at SpringBoard Digital for a student page for this mini-lesson.
Technology Tip
Students can use tables and graphs on a graphing calculator to check their answers when performing polynomial
operations. For example, in Item 7, students can enter (x + 5)(x2 + 4x − 5) as y1 and their answer as y2. If the answer is
correct, a table will show the same values for all values of x, and the graphs will coincide.
