Given the equation |x-72.5|=4.

When x is maximum, we have

|x-72.5|= x-72.5. Hence x-72.5 =4\\x=76.5

The maximum temperature is 76.5\; ^oF

When x is minimum, we have

|x-72.5|=72.5-x. Hence 72.5-x =4\\x=68.5

The minimum temperature is 68.5\; ^oF

Answer:

Therefore the minimum and maximum temperature in the house are 68.5°F and 76.5°F respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation that relates the minimum and maximum temperature of heat of a house as;

|x – 72.5| = 4

Since the function at the left hand side is an absolute value, the equation can be expressed in two ways because the modulus function can either be a negative function (for minimum temperature) or positive function (maximum temperature).

The equation can be rewritten the following ways;

-(x-72.5) = 4 ...1 OR

x-72.5 = 4 ... 2

Solving equation 1 to get x;

-x+72.5 = 4

-x = 4-72.5

-x = -68.5

x = 68.5°F (minimum temperature)

Solving equation 2 for x;

x-72.5 = 4

x = 4+72.5

x = 76.5°F (maximum temperature)

Therefore the minimum and maximum temperature in the house are 68.5°F and 76.5°F respectively

1082 is the 6th house from where Taylor is.

___

You can also recognize that (1082 -1022)/10 = 60/10 = 6 is the number of houses away from the house at 1022.
