The human body has a normal temperature of 98.6°F. Doctors will get worried if a sick patient has a temperature that varies from

the normal by more than 3°F. Create an absolute value inequality and solve it to determine what body temperatures would be considered unhealthy.

Answer:

|T- 98.6| \geq 3

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

T -98.6 \leq -3

And solving for T we got:

T \leq 98.6- 3

T\leq 95.6

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

T -98.6 \geq 3

T \geq 101.6

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the variable os interest T as the real temperature and we know that if we are 3 F more than the value of 98.6 we will be unhealthy so we can set up the following equation:

|T- 98.6| \geq 3

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

T -98.6 \leq -3

And solving for T we got:

T \leq 98.6- 3

T\leq 95.6

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

T -98.6 \geq 3

T \geq 101.6

kupik [55]
Think:     1/6 gram honey  for   1/10 pan of pudding.  What if we mult. both sides by 10?

Then we have   10/6 gram honey for 10/10 (or 1) pan of pudding.  This rerduces to 5/3 gram of honey (answer)

You could also solve this by setting up and solving an equation of 2 ratios:

A building is 5 feet tall. the base of the ladder is 8 feet from the building. how tall must a ladder be to reach the top of the
iris [78.8K]

The ladder must be 9.4 ft to reach the top of the building

Here, we want to get the length of the ladder that will reach the top of the building

Firstly, we need a diagrammatic representation

We have this as;

As we can see, we have a right triangle with the hypotenuse being the length of the ladder

We simply will make use of Pythagoras' theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus, we have;

\begin{gathered} x^2=5^2+8^2 \\ x^2=\text{ 25 + 64} \\ x^2\text{ = 89} \\ x=\text{ }\sqrt[]{89} \\ x\text{ = 9.4 ft} \end{gathered}
