Tolerance in engineering is an allowance made for imperfections in a manufactured object. The manufacturer of an oven specifies a temperature tolerance of +15°F. This means that the temperature inside the oven will be within 15°F of the temperature that it is set on. Write and solve an absolute value equation to find the maximum and minimum temperatures inside the oven when the thermostat is set on 400°F.

On the way home from visiting his family, vincent’s plane cruised at an altitude of 3.2 × 10^4 feet. he had heard that a man named felix baumgartner skydived from an altitude of 1.28 × 10^5 feet. vincent wants to know how much higher felix went on his skydiving trip. question 1 you have already seen how adding numbers works in either scientific notation or standard notation. but can you subtract numbers in scientific notation and get the same results as subtracting in standard notation? to find out, first solve vincent’s problem in standard notation. part a write the cruising altitude of vincent’s plane in standard notation.
