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:

  1. \(x > 1\)
  2. \(x < -1\)

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 \((-\infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty)\).
