Afurniture maker uses the specification 19.88 ≤ w ≤ 20.12 for the width w in inches of a desk drawer. write the specification as an absolute value inequality.

The correct answer is:

|w-20| ≤ 0.12.

Explanation:

We first find the average of the two ends of the inequality:

(19.88+20.12)/2 = 40/2 = 20

This will be the number subtracted from w in the inequality.

Now we find the difference between this value and the ends:

20-19.88 = 0.12

20.12 - 20 = 0.12

This will be what our absolute value inequality ends with; the "answer" part, so to speak.

Since this inequality is written in compact form, it must be an "and" inequality; this means the absolute value inequality must be a "less than or equal to."

This gives us

|w-20| ≤ 0.12

goog may have it for you

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
