The recommended daily intake rdi a nutrients supplement for a certain age group is 800 mg per day actully supplements needs vary from person to person which absolute value inequality expresses the rdi plus or minus 50 mg
a. |x-800|≥50
b. |50-x|≤800
c. |x-800|≤50
d. |x-50|≤800

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The recommended daily intake of a nutrients supplement for a certain age group is 800 mg per day.

Actully supplements needs vary from person to person  plus or minus 50 mg.

This means the minimum value is 800 - 50 = 750 mg per day and the maximum value is 800 + 50 = 850 mg per day.

Let x mg be a possible daily amount of nutrients supplement. Then

Subtract 800:

This inequality can be rewritten using absolute value notation as

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3
