A sign at an amusement park reads “To ride, you must be at least 4 1/2 feet tall, but no taller than 6 1/2 feet.” How could you write this as an absolute value inequality, using x as height?≥≤ A. |x+1| ≤5.5 B. |x+5.5| ≤1 C. |x-5.5| ≤ 1 D. |x-1| ≤5.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|x-5.5| ≤ 1 if you have |a|<=b that is -b<=a<=b so it's C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A or C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C for sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|x-5.5| ≤ 1 -1< x-5.5 <= 1 so we have 4.5<=x<=6.5 i hope it's clear it's C now

Thanks, it was C.

Sorry, you are right :) My bad
