Question

The width of a machine part should be 7.21 centimeters (cm). The manufacturing tolerance is within 0.04 cm.

PART A: Write an absolute value equation that could be used to determine the maximum and minimum
value of w, the width of the machine part, algebraically. Iw-7.211-0.04
PART B: Determine the maximum and minimum value of the discuss.
Maximum= type your answer.....
Minimum type your answer....

Answer 1

PART A: An absolute value equation that could be used to determine the maximum and minimum value of w is:

|w - 7.21| ≤ 0.04

PART B: To determine the maximum and minimum value of w, we can solve the inequality in part A.

Adding 7.21 to both sides of the inequality, we get:

-0.04 ≤ w - 7.21 ≤ 0.04

Adding 7.21 to all three parts of the inequality, we get:

7.17 ≤ w ≤ 7.25

Therefore, the maximum value of w is 7.25 cm, and the minimum value of w is 7.17 cm.
