Question

The University of Central Florida’s cheerleading team has eighteen males and twenty-one females. If h represents the height of a team member, the inequality 260 ≤ 4h + 28 < 324 , represents the range of heights of the cheerleaders, in inches. Select all possible heights for the University of Central Florida’s cheerleaders.

Answer 1

Answer:

The range of heights of the cheerleaders is the interval [58, 74)

All real numbers greater than or equal to 58 inches and less than 74 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$260 \leq 4h+28$

Divide the compound inequality into two inequalities

$260 \leq 4h+28$ -----> inequality A

$4h+28$ -----> inequality B

Solve inequality A

$260 \leq 4h+28$

Subtract 28 both sides

$232 \leq 4h$

Divide by 4 both sides

$58 \leq h$

Rewrite

$h \geq 58\ in$

Solve the inequality B

$4h+28$

Subtract 28 both sides

$4h$

Divide by 4 both sides

$h$

therefore

The range of heights of the cheerleaders is the interval [58, 74)

All real numbers greater than or equal to 58 inches and less than 74 inches
