The average body temperature of a lemming is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature is considered abnormal if it is more than 1.5 degrees above or below that.
Write the absolute value inequality that represents this.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Temperature = 98.6F

Range = 1.5F

Required

Write the absolute value inequality

Let the temperature be represented by x

We start by writing an expression for the difference between x and 98.6.

This can be written as x - 98.6

From the question, we understand that this difference is more than 1.5F

Representing this using absolute value inequality; we have

Solving further; this gives

or

Make x the subject of formula in both cases

or

or

This can be rewritten as

or

Combining these two inequalities;

Hence;

The absolute inequality is  

And the range of value is
