$\"sqrt%28%28%28xLessThanNegThree%29-2%29%5E2%29\"$ , the binomial will be a negative number but then still inside the square root function, the binomial is being squared and becomes positive.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, understand that $\"abs%28x-2%29=sqrt%28%28x-2%29%5E2%29\"$ , and the critical x value is 2. Negative 3 clearly makes $\"x-2%3C0\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28x-2%29\"$ when $\"x-2\"$ is negative becomes $\"abs%28x-2%29=-%28x-2%29=highlight%28-x%2B2%29\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The second equation to analyze will work similarly. x+2 will be negative for $\"x%3C-3\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
