Understanding Absolute Value Concepts

This video tutorial covers solving absolute value equations and inequalities, including special cases with no solution or infinite solutions. It provides a deeper understanding of absolute value concepts, solving techniques, and handling extraneous solutions. The tutorial includes nine examples, demonstrating how to solve equations with absolute values on both sides and transition to inequalities.
