Question

Dr. Jones has found over the years that 95% of babies delivered weighted x pounds, where |x-8.2| - 1.5 < 0.....Solve the inequality....Show work

Answer 1

Answer:

$6.7$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an inequality $|x-8.2|-1.5$ and we are asked to solve our given inequality.

Let us add 1.5 to both sides of our inequality.

$|x-8.2|-1.5+1.5$

$|x-8.2|$

Upon using definition of absolute value function $|f(x)|$ we can write our absolute function as:

$x-8.2-1.5$  

$x-1.5+8.2$  

$x6.7$  

Upon combining our ranges we will get,

$6.7$  

Therefore, our inequality solves to $6.7$.
