A quality control inspector is in charge of inspecting drill bits that are produced on an assembly line. The diameter of a drill bit can be modeled by the equation |x − 0.525| = 0.01. Show your work in solving the equation to determine the minimum and maximum diameters of the drill bits. I'm not exactly sure what to do. Help Please?.

Question

0.01 is the accepted tolerance for the drill bit... @Princess_Mia

amistre64 · Answer

do we agree that |.01| = .01  and |-.01| = .01?

amistre64 · Answer

if so then solve for both cases:

f(x) = k  and   f(x) = -k

anonymous · Answer

what does f and k stand for? @amistre64

paki · Answer

@Princess_Mia  please participate in the question.....

amistre64 · Answer

they are generalties.  given that you have posted;  |f(x)| = k

anonymous · Answer

ok @paki

amistre64 · Answer

f(x) is read as:  a function of x,  and not f, times x

ohh ok

paki · Answer

for solving the equation we will need to split the main equation for two...

|x − 0.525| = 0.01..........

|x − 0.525| = +0.01                and            |x − 0.525| = -0.01


+ and - are for that small tolerance... rite...
