Question

BRAINLIEST!


Henry's rocket is designed to launch to a height of 100 feet in the air. The measurements so far have the launch height (h) varying no more than 4 feet. Which inequality below represents this scenario?

|h − 4| less than or equal to 100

|h + 4| greater than or equal to 100

|h − 100| less than or equal to 4

|h + 100| greater than or equal to 4

Answer 1

no more means less than or equal
so answer is
|h − 100| less than or equal to 4

Answer 2

Answer:

|h − 100| less than or equal to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the difference between h, the actual height, and the designed height, 100, is no more than 4.

This means that the actual height h could be up to 4 more than the designed height or up to 4 less than the designed height.  This is why we use an absolute value inequality; this considers just the distance of 4 regardless of direction.

Since it can be "no more than" 4, we use less than or equal to; this gives us

|h − 100| less than or equal to 4
