The absolute value equation which could be used to obtain the greatest and least possible temperature values when the temperature reading is 17°F is (17 ± 2)°F
Thermometer accuracy = ±2°F
Thermometer reading = 17°F
<u>The least possible value of </u><u>temperature</u><u> </u><u>can</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>calculated</u><u> </u><u>thus</u> :
Thermometer reading - thermometer accuracy
17 - 2 = 15°F
<u>The highest possible </u><u>temperature</u><u> </u><u>can</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>calculated</u> thus :
Themometer reading - thermometer accuracy
17 + 2 = 19°F
Hence, the absolute value equation which represents the scenario is (17 ± 2)°F
