Question

NEED ANSWER ASAP!!!! `For an essay contest, Annika needs to write 450 words with an absolute deviation of less than 15 words. Using w as a variable, write an absolute value inequality to represent this situation. HELP PLEASE. ONLY 10 MINUTES LEFT.

Answer 1

The absolute value inequality is;

`\left | w -450 \right |<15`

Explanation:

The given information are;

The number of words Annika needs to write = 450 words

The absolute deviation of the number of words allowed = 15 words

The variable representing the number of words Annika actually wrote = w

Therefore, we have the absolute value inequality given as follows;

`\left | w -450 \right |<15`, which can be written in statement form as follows;

-15 < w - 450 < 15, or as follows

`\left | w -450 \right |<15 \ in \ statement \ form \ is \ -15 < w - 450 < 15`
