Q: What does IP AMaths Notes (Upper Sec, Year 3-4): 11) Modulus Functions cover?
A: Piecewise rewriting, graph sketching, and inequality solving with modulus expressions for IP AMaths.

Modulus expressions measure distance from zero. Convert them into piecewise linear forms to analyse turning points and solve inequalities.
