In a chemical process between 77g and 85g of carbon is added to a mixture let c be the amount of carbon write an absolute value inequality describing the amount of carbon added

Respuesta :

Absolute value inequality is given as [tex]| C-A| <B[/tex] ... (1)

Opening the absolute sign, we get

[tex]C-A < B[/tex] or [tex]C-A >B[/tex]

Combining the inequalities we get -

[tex]-B < C-A < B[/tex]

Add, A on both sides.

[tex]A-B < C < A+B[/tex]

It is given that, C is between 77 gm and 85 gm

Hence , [tex]A-B = 77[/tex] ... (2)

[tex]A+B = 85[/tex].... (3)

solving equation (2) and (3)

A = 81 and B = 4

Plug the values of A and B in equation 1.

Absolute value equation is [tex]|C-81|<4[/tex]
