Acounty government says that a safe level of chlorine in a hot tub is within 1.75 ppm of 3.25 ppm. a. write and solve an absolute value inequality to represent this situation. b. a lifeguard measures the chlorine level in the pool and finds it is 1.0 ppm. should he add more chlorine? explain.

Part A : |x-2.5| ≤ 0.75  , x ∈ [1.75,3.5]

Part B : yes, the lifeguard should add more chlorine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Let  C is the variation of the level of chlorine in a hot tub.

Level of chlorine in a hot tub is within 1.75 ppm of 3.25 ppm.

To find absolute value inequality, need to find the standard level of chlorine 1.75 + C or 3.25 - C

1.75 + C = 3.25 - C

2C = 5

C = 2.5

So, the standard level would be 2.5 ppm,

If x represents the present level of chlorine,

Then it would be lie within 1.75 ppm of 3.25 ppm.

1.75 ≤ x ≤ 3.25

Subtract 2.5 from all sides

1.75 - 2.5 ≤ x -2.5 ≤ 3.25 - 2.5

-0.75 ≤ (x-2.5) ≤ 0.75

which is equivalent to the following absolute value inequality.

|x-2.5| ≤ 0.75

And the solve of the inequality : x ∈ [1.75,3.5]

Part B:  If x = 1.0 ppm,

∴ |1.0-2.5| = 1.5 which is not less than equal to 0.75.

Another explanation:

the minimum safe level of chlorine in a hot tub is 1.75 ppm

Since 1 < 1.75

Therefore, lifeguard should add more chlorine.

the correct functions are

h(x) = 3x + 2  

g(x) = 2^x

step-by-step explanation:

i proceed to calculate the different values ​​of k (x)

case 1)  k(x) = g(x) ∘ h(x)

g(x) ∘ h(x)=g(h(x))

k(x) = [2]^[3x + > is the option  4. k(x) = 2^(3x + 2 )

case 2)  k(x) = g(x) + h(x)

k(x) = [2^x]+[3x + 2]=2^x+3x+> is the option  1.) k(x) = 2^x + 3x + 2

case 3)k(x) = h(x) ÷ g(x)

k(x) =  [3x + 2]/[2^x]=3x/(2^x)+2/(2^x)=3x*(2^-x)+2^(1-x)

is the option  3.)   k(x) = (3x)2^(-x) + 2^(-x + 1 )

case 4)k(x) = g(x) - h(x)

k(x) =  [2^x]-[3x + 2]=2^x-3x-> is the option  2.) k(x) = 2^x - 3x - 2 

case 5)  k(x) = g(x) × h(x)

k(x) = [2^x]*[3x + > is the option  5.) k(x) = 2^x(3x + 2)

case 6)k(x) = h(x) ∘ g(x)

h(x) ∘ g(x)=h(g(x))

k(x)=3*[2^x]+> is the option  6. k(x) = 3(2^x) +2
