Question

The normal body temperature of a camel is 37° C this temperature varies by up to three degrees C throughout the day write and solve an absolute value inequality that represents the range of normal body temperatures in degrees celsius of a camel throughout the day

Answer 1

Given that the normal body temperature of a camel is 37° C and that the temperature varies by up to three degrees C throughout the day.

Let x represent the normal body temperatures in degrees celsius of a camel, the absolute value inequality that represents the range of normal body temperatures in degrees celsius of a camel throughout the day is given by

|x - 37| ≤ 3

The absolute value inequality is solved as follows:

|x - 37| ≤ 3

-3 ≤ x - 37 ≤ 3

-3 + 37 ≤ x ≤ 3 + 37

34 ≤ x ≤ 40.
