The greatest possible temperature is [tex]5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}[/tex] and least possible temperature is [tex]-15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}[/tex]
Solution:
Given that according to weather forecaster the temperature will be about -5 degree celsius given or take 10 degree”
Need to determine greatest possible temperature and least possible temperature.
Give and take in given statement means a temperature can go up by 10 degrees and can go down by 10 degrees
So greatest possible temperature will be [tex]-5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}+10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}[/tex]
Least possible temperature will be [tex]-5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=-15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}[/tex]
Hence according to weather forecaster, greatest possible temperature = [tex]5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}[/tex] and least possible temperature = [tex]-15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}[/tex]
