In this situation, you are certain that the difference between the actual amount of money in your wallet (m) and the amount you think is in your wallet ($40) is $5 because you said you have $40 give or take $5. So, we can represent this symbolically as m-40 < 5 Solving this inequality for m let's us know how much money is in the wallet. Specifically: -5<m-40 < 5 35 <m < 45 The amount of money in your wallet is in the interval (35, 45). Thus, because you have between $35 and $45 in your wallet, you have enough money to go out! Now, granted, the numbers in this example were easy to think with, but let's practice setting up an inequality with a couple of questions where the numbers aren't so nice. 1. You are asked to buy some decorative pumpkins to bring to a tailgate party. The small pumpkins come in bags that say the weight as 3.7 pounds. The cashier tells you the weight varies by less than 0.34 pounds. Write an absolute value inequality representing the possible range of weights of the bags of pumpkins. Use p to represent the weight (in pounds) of the bag of pumpkins, [NOTE: When typing your absolute value symbols() ), use the "shift-slash" key combination. The slash key is usually under the delete or backspace key in the upper right of the keyboard. Do not include any spaces.] NOTE: If you are entering a decimal between 0 and 1, write it in the form "0.xx" Use interval notation to express the solution to the inequality. 2. You are making a float for a fall parade project at your school and need 50 wooden rods. The ideal diameter of the rods is 2.25 inches. On the wooden rod website, it said these rods had an allowable error must be smaller than 0.03 inches when they were made. You are interested in knowing the actual possible diamaters for the 50 rods you are buying Write an absolute value inequality representing the possible range of diameters for the wooden rods. Used to represent the diameter (in inches) of the wooden rods. NOTE: If you are entering a decimal between 0 and 1, write it in the form "0.xx" Solve this inequality. Use interval notation to express the solution.
