A pediatrician recommends that a baby’s bath water be 95°F, but it is acceptable for the temperature to vary from this amount by as much as 3°F. Write and solve an absolutevalue inequality to find the range of acceptable temperatures. Graph the solutions.
III. Applications
The difference between t and the ideal temperature is at most 3°F.

A drychemical fire extinguisher should be pressurized to 125 psi, but it is acceptable for the pressure to differ from this value by at most 75 psi. Write and solve an absolutevalue inequality to find the range of acceptable pressures. Graph the solution.
The difference between t and the ideal temperature is at most 3°F.

IV. Special Cases of Absolute ValueWhen solving an absolutevalue inequality, you may get a statement that is true for all values of the variable. In this case, all real numbers are solutions of the original inequality. If you get a false statement when solving an absolutevalue inequality, the original inequality has no solutions.
try substituting xvalues in the equation to check your answer.
