Question

Solve the following for x, where |x| is modulus function, [x] is greatest integer function, [x] is a fractional part function.

|x − 4| + |x − 2| = 3

Sum

Solution

|x − 4| + |x − 2| = 3   ...(i)

Case I : x < 2

Equation (i) reduces to

4 − x + 2 − x = 3    ...`[(x < 2 < 4),(therefore x - 4 < 0"," x - 2 < 0)]`

∴ 6 − 3 = 2x

∴ x = `3/2`

Case II : 2 ≤ x < 4

Equation (i) reduces to

4 − x + 2 − x = 3

∴ 2 = 3 (absurd)

∴ There is no solution in [2, 4)

Case III : x ≥ 4

Equation (i) reduces to x – 4 + x – 2 = 3

∴ 2x = 6 + 3 = 9

∴ x = `9/2`

∴ x = `3/2, 9/2` are solutions

The solution set  = `{3/2, 9/2}`
