Question

The minimum score on the SAT test is 600 and the maximum score is 2400. Write an absolute value equation that represents the minimum and maximum scores. Use x to represent the scores.

Answer 1

I think this is the answer because you can’t go lower than 600 but you can’t go over 2400

Answer 2

Answer:

$\mid 600 \leq x \leq 2400 \mid$  

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum SAT score = 600

The maximum SAT score = 2400

Let x represent score of a student. Since we know the maximum value is 2400 so x cannot be larger than 2400 and the minimum value is 600, so it cannot be less than 600.

This can be represented in the form of the equation:

$600 \leq x \leq 2400$

Now, the absolute value equation that represents the given situation is given by:

$\mid 600 \leq x \leq 2400 \mid$

This, equation have two interpretation:

a) $600 \leq x \leq 2400$

b)$-(600 \leq x \leq 2400)$

$= -600 \geq -x \geq -2400$
