Acounty government says that a safe level of chlorine in a hot tub is within 1.75 ppm of 3.25 ppm. a. write and solve an absolute value inequality to represent this situation. b. a lifeguard measures the chlorine level in the pool and finds it is 1.0 ppm. should he add more chlorine? explain.

Part A : |x-2.5| ≤ 0.75  , x ∈ [1.75,3.5]

Part B : yes, the lifeguard should add more chlorine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Let  C is the variation of the level of chlorine in a hot tub.

Level of chlorine in a hot tub is within 1.75 ppm of 3.25 ppm.

To find absolute value inequality, need to find the standard level of chlorine 1.75 + C or 3.25 - C

1.75 + C = 3.25 - C

2C = 5

C = 2.5

So, the standard level would be 2.5 ppm,

If x represents the present level of chlorine,

Then it would be lie within 1.75 ppm of 3.25 ppm.

1.75 ≤ x ≤ 3.25

Subtract 2.5 from all sides

1.75 - 2.5 ≤ x -2.5 ≤ 3.25 - 2.5

-0.75 ≤ (x-2.5) ≤ 0.75

which is equivalent to the following absolute value inequality.

|x-2.5| ≤ 0.75

And the solve of the inequality : x ∈ [1.75,3.5]

Part B:  If x = 1.0 ppm,

∴ |1.0-2.5| = 1.5 which is not less than equal to 0.75.

Another explanation:

the minimum safe level of chlorine in a hot tub is 1.75 ppm

Since 1 < 1.75

Therefore, lifeguard should add more chlorine.

answer: was that a question or answer?

step-by-step explanation:

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
