Question

The horizontal bar used in gymnastics events should be placed 110.25 inches above the ground, with a tolerance of 0.4 inch. Write an absolute value inequality for the acceptable bar heights.

Answer 1

109.85>110.65

Answer 2

not quite

Answer 3

let h represent bar height

Answer 4

109.85<h<110.65

Answer 5

you want an inequality with absolute value right?

Answer 6

Yeah, absolute value

Answer 7

missed that part

Answer 8

ok so absolute value measures distance. if you want the distance between some number \(x\) and say 2 to be less than 1, you can write that as
\[|x-2|<1\]

Answer 9

you your case you want the distance between \(h\) and \(110.25\) so be less than \(0.4\)
can you finish it?

Answer 10

Nevermind, got it, Thank you
