Modulus Functions
Modulus of ‘x’ or Absolute Value of ‘x’
Absolute value of any real number x is denoted by |x|
(read as modulus of x)
Q. Find the absolute value of a number

Solution:
Representation of Modulus Function on Number Line
Q. Arrange the given numbers in ascending order.

-|-14|, |12|, |7|, |-91|, |-5|, |-8|, |-65|, |6|
Solution:
Initially, find the absolute values of the given numbers
-14, 12, 7, 91, 5, 8, 65, 6
Now,arrange the numbers in ascending order (Smallest to the

largest number)
-14, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 65, 91

y = mod (x - 2)
y = mod (x + 4)
Properties of Modulus Functions
● Non -negativity: |a|≥0

● Positive -definiteness: |a|=0⇔a=0
● Multiplication : |ab|=|a||b|
● Subadditivity: |a+b|≤|a|+|b|
● Symmetry: |-a|=|a|
● |a-b|=0 ⇔ a=b
● Triangle inequality (equivalent to subadditivity)
|a-b|≤|a-c|+|c-b|
Inequalities Involving Modulus
● |x| ≤ a ⇒ -a ≤ x ≤ a
● In general, |f(x)| ≤ a ⇒ -a ≤ f(x) ≤ a
(where, a > 0)
● |x| ≤ 2
● |x| < 3
● |x| ≤ a ⇒ -a ≤ x ≤ a
● In general, |f(x)| ≤ a ⇒ -a ≤ f(x) ≤ a
(where, a > 0)
● |x| ≤ 2 ⇒ -2 ≤ x ≤
2
● |x| < 3 ⇒ -3 < x <
3
● |x| ≥ a ⇒ x ≤ -a or x ≥ a
● In general, |f(x)| ≥ a ⇒ f(x) ≤ -a or f(x) ≥ a
(where, a > 0)
● |x| ≥ 3
● |x| > 2
● |x| ≥ a ⇒ x ≤ -a or x ≥ a
● In general, |f(x)| ≥ a ⇒ f(x) ≤ -a or f(x) ≥ a
(where, a > 0)
● |x| ≥ 3 ⇒ x ≤ -3 or x ≥ 3
● |x| > 2 ⇒ x < -2 or x > 2

Greatest Integer Functions

The greatest Integer Function [x] indicates an integral part of the real
number x which is the nearest and smaller integer to x.
● It is also known as the floor of x.
● [x] = the largest integer that is less than or equal to x.
● [x] = the largest integer that is less than or equal to x.

● n ≤x<n+1 and ' n ' is an integer
