To solve the absolute value inequality \(|x| > 1\), we interpret it as meaning that \(x\) is either greater than 1 or less than -1. Thus, we have two cases:
- \(x > 1\)
- \(x < -1\)
The first part of the solution provided by AJ is \((-\infty, -1)\), which corresponds to the second case.
The second part of the solution corresponds to the first case where \(x > 1\). In interval notation, this is represented as \((1, \infty)\).
Thus, the complete solution to \(|x| > 1\) in interval notation is:
\[ (-\infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty) \]
So, the answer to your question is:
The solution to \(|x| > 1\) is \((-\infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty)\).
