Q. Solve for z.∣z+3∣=1Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.z= _____ or z= _____
Understand absolute value equation: Understand the absolute value equation.The equation ∣z+3∣=1 means that the quantity z+3 is 1 unit away from 0 on the number line. This can happen in two ways: either z+3 is 1 or z+3 is −1.
Solve for positive z: Solve for z when z+3 is positive.If z+3=1, then we subtract 3 from both sides to find the value of z.z+3−3=1−3z=−2
Solve for negative z: Solve for z when z+3 is negative.If z+3=−1, then we subtract 3 from both sides to find the value of z.z+3−3=−1−3z=−4
