Question

the shortest adult women is 24 inches tall. the tallest adult women is 92 inches tall. write and absolute value equation to represent the minimum and maximum heights

Answer 1

The general equation of an absolute value equation is: |x - μ|, where μ is the mean and x is a single data point. The data points given are 24 and 92.

μ = (24 + 92)/2 = 58

Let's solve for |x - μ|:
|24 - 58| = 34
|92 - 58| = 34

Therefore, the absolute value equation is:
|x - 58| = 34
