12. MODELING WITH MATHEMATICS The life zones on Mount Rainier, a mountain in Washington, can be
approximately classified by elevation, as follows.
Low-elevation forest: above 1700 feet to 2500 feet
Mid-elevation forest: above 2500 feet to 4000 feet
Subalpine: above 4000 feet to 6500 feet
Alpine: above 6500 feet to the summit
Elevation of Mount Rainier: 14,410 ft
Write a compound inequality that represents the
elevation range for each type of plant life.
a. trees in the low-elevation forest zone
b. flowers in the subalpine and alpine zones
