The ideal temperature inside a refrigerator is 37*5F plus or minus 3.5*F. Set up and solve an absolute value equation to find the high and low limits of the range of temperatures. Show your work.

Answer:

[tex] |T -37.5| \leq 3.5 [/tex]

And using properties of absolute value we got:

[tex] -3.5 \leq T-37.5 \leq 3.5[/tex]

And adding 37.5 on both sides is given by:

[tex] -3.5+37.5 \leq T \leq 3.5+ 37.5[/tex]

[tex] 34 \leq T \leq 41[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume that the ideal temperature is given by [tex] T=37.5 F[/tex]

And for this case we know that the limits within 3.5 F within the ideal temperature so we can write this like that:

[tex] |T -37.5| \leq 3.5 [/tex]

And using properties of absolute value we got:

[tex] -3.5 \leq T-37.5 \leq 3.5[/tex]

And adding 37.5 on both sides is given by:

[tex] -3.5+37.5 \leq T \leq 3.5+ 37.5[/tex]

[tex] 34 \leq T \leq 41[/tex]
