A certain medication must be stored at a temperature, t, that may range between a low at `45^(@)` Fahrenheit a high of `85^(@)` Fahreheit. Which inequality represents the allowable range of Fahrenheit temperature?

A

`|t-65|le20`

B

`|t+20|le65`

C

`|t+65|le20`

D

`|t-20|le85`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to express the allowable range of temperatures for the medication in terms of an inequality. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Temperature Range**: The medication must be stored at a temperature \( t \) that ranges from a low of \( 45^\circ \) Fahrenheit to a high of \( 85^\circ \) Fahrenheit. 2. **Set Up the Inequality**: We can express this range using inequalities: \[ 45 \leq t \leq 85 \] 3. **Rearranging the Inequality**: To express this in a different form, we can manipulate the inequality. We can subtract \( 65 \) from all parts of the inequality: \[ 45 - 65 \leq t - 65 \leq 85 - 65 \] This simplifies to: \[ -20 \leq t - 65 \leq 20 \] 4. **Expressing in Absolute Value Form**: The inequality \( -20 \leq t - 65 \leq 20 \) can be rewritten in absolute value notation. It states that the distance of \( t \) from \( 65 \) is at most \( 20 \): \[ |t - 65| \leq 20 \] 5. **Final Inequality**: Thus, the inequality that represents the allowable range of Fahrenheit temperature is: \[ |t - 65| \leq 20 \] ### Conclusion: The correct inequality representing the allowable range of Fahrenheit temperature is \( |t - 65| \leq 20 \).
