Each type of fish thrives in specific range of temperatures. The optimum temperatures for sharks range from 18 degrees Celsius to 22 degrees Celsius. Write an inequality that represents the temperatures where sharks will NOT thrive.
-----
t < 18 or t> 22
---
Midpoint is 20
---
Inequality::::
|t-20| > 2
This says "If the difference between the temp and 20 is greater
than 2", the sharks will Not thrive.
