Question

Jenny runs five miles a day with an absolute error of three-quarters of a mile. Which absolute value equation gives the minimum and maximum miles that Jenny runs each day?

Answer 1

Answer:

|d - 5| ≤ ¾

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Jenny runs five miles a day.

Also, we are told that he has an absolute error value of ¾ mile.

Thus, it means the true distance he ran could range from between (5 + ¾) to (5 - ¾) miles.

Let the distance he runs per day be denoted as d.

Thus, absolute value equation can be written as;

|d - 5| ≤ ¾
