1 (abs) 3 • 5 X/
θ/T/n + 4 ENTER . Enter 10 in Y2 by pressing
1 0 .
3. Access the Set Shade screen by pressing 2ndF DRAW G (SHADE) 1
(SET). Since Y2 is the function "on the bottom," press 2ndF VARS A
ENTER 2 (Y2) and since Y1 is the function "on the top," press 2ndF
VARS ENTER 1 (Y1).
4. Set the viewing window by pressing ZOOM A (Zoom) 5 (Default). Press

the inequality |3.5x + 4| > 10 is all values of x such that x
≤ -4 or x ≥ 1.714.
