Question

Write an absolute value inequality to represent each situation:

Suppose you used an oven thermometer while baking and discovered that the oven temperature varied between +5 and -5 degrees from the setting. If your oven is set to 350°, let t be the actual temperature.

Answer 1

|t - 350| ≤5

Explanation:

t be the actual temperature

We want to be within 5 degrees of 350 ( that includes 5 degrees)

|t - 350| ≤5
