Suppose that the minimum score on certification test is 200 and the maximum score is 1000. Write an absolute value equation that represents the minimum and maximum scores. Use x to represent the scores.
(200+1000)/2 = 600
(1000-200)/2 = 400
|x-600| = 400
To write an absolute value equation that represents the minimum and maximum scores, we need to find the midpoint between the two values and set up the equation relative to that midpoint.
The midpoint between the minimum score of 200 and the maximum score of 1000 can be calculated by finding the average: (200 + 1000)/2 = 600.
Now, we can set up the absolute value equation using the variable x to represent the scores:
|x - 600|.
This equation represents the absolute distance between the score (x) and the midpoint value of 600.
