Question

Mariana wears her winter coat when the temperature is colder than -4^{\circ}\text{C}−4 ∘ Cminus, 4, degrees, start text, C, end text. Write an inequality that is true only for temperatures (t)(t)left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis at which Mariana wears her winter coat.

Answer 1

t < -4

Explanation:

Answer 2

T < - 4°C

Explanation:

Given that Mariana wears her coat only when temperature is colder than - 4°C

Recall that lower temperature values indicate higher degree of coldness ;

Hence, Mariana will only wear her coat when temperature values are lesser than - 4°C ; this means that the temperature at that period is colder than - 4°C.

Hence, the inequality expression which is only true for temperatures when Mariana wears her coat can be written as :

Temperature = T

T < - 4°C
