Question

Write an absolute value inequality to represent each equation and show your work.

A friend is planning a trip to Alaska. He purchased a coat that is recommended for outdoor temperatures from −15°F to 45°F. Let T represent the temperature for which the coat is intended for.
A. |T| ≥ 15
B. |T| > 45
C. |T| ≤ 15
D. |T| < 45

Answer 1

The absolute value inequality to represent the given temperature range is |T| ≥ 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent the temperature range for which the coat is intended, we can write the absolute value inequality |T| ≥ 15.

In this case, the absolute value inequality means that the temperature T can be either greater than or equal to 15 or less than or equal to -15, which represents the recommended temperature range of -15°F to 45°F.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. |T| ≥ 15.
