a manufacturer of bicycle parts requires that a bicycle chain have a width of 0.3 inch with an absolute deviation of at most 0.0003 inch. write and solve an absolute value inequality that represents the acceptable widths.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex] |w-0.3| \leq 0.0003[/tex]

And solving we got:

[tex] -0.0003 \leq w-0.3 \leq 0.0003[/tex]

[tex]0.3-0.0003 \leq w \leq 0.3+0.0003[/tex]

[tex] 0.2997 \leq w \leq 0.3003[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following notation:

[tex] W[/tex] represent the width

And we want a maximum error of 0.0003 so we can set up the following equation:

[tex] |w-0.3| \leq 0.0003[/tex]

And solving we got:

[tex] -0.0003 \leq w-0.3 \leq 0.0003[/tex]

[tex]0.3-0.0003 \leq w \leq 0.3+0.0003[/tex]

[tex] 0.2997 \leq w \leq 0.3003[/tex]
