The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality given in the question, we need to analyze the expression |x| > a, where a is a positive real number. ### Step 1: Understand the absolute value inequality The inequality |x| > a means that the distance of x from 0 is greater than a. This can be interpreted in two ways: 1. x is greater than a. 2. x is less than -a. ### Step 2: Write the two cases From the definition of absolute value, we can break down the inequality into two separate cases: 1. \( x > a \) 2. \( x < -a \) ### Step 3: Combine the results The solution to the inequality |x| > a can be expressed in interval notation. The values of x that satisfy either of the two cases can be combined: - From case 1, we have \( x \) in the interval \( (a, \infty) \). - From case 2, we have \( x \) in the interval \( (-\infty, -a) \). Thus, the complete solution can be written as: \[ x \in (-\infty, -a) \cup (a, \infty) \] ### Conclusion Therefore, the solution to the inequality |x| > a, where a > 0, is: \[ x \in (-\infty, -a) \cup (a, \infty) \]
