Question 1147428: The minimum sustained wind speed of a category 1 hurricane is 74 miles per hour. The maximum sustained wind speed is 95 miles per hour. Write an absolute value a equation that represents the minimum and maximum speed. Let v represent the wind speed. Answer by ikleyn(52794) (Show Source):
Your equation is
| v - 84.5 | <= 10.5. (1)
Notice that 84.5 is the mid-point between 74 and 95.
Equation (1) says that the diapason (the range) of possible values of speed of wind is the interval 10.5 units
from the mid-point value.
