    Number Worked example © Upper and lower bounds ‘Numbers can be written to different degrees of accuracy. For example 4.5, 4.50 and 4.500, although appearing to represent the same number, do not. This is because they are written to different degrees of accuracy. 4.5 is rounded to one decimal place and therefore any number from 4.45 up to but not including 4.55 would be rounded to 4.5. On a number line this would be represented as: a 44 445 35 455 46 As an inequality where x represents the number it would be expressed as 445 implies that the number is not included in the solution whilst @————P implies that the number is included in the solution. 4.50 on the other hand is written to bvo decimal places and therefore only numbers from 4.495 up to but not including 4.505 would be rounded to 4.50. This therefore represents a much smalfer range of numbers than that being rounded (0 4.5. Similarly the range of numbers being rounded to 4.500 would be even smaller. A girl's height is given as 162 cm to the nearest centimetre. 4) Work out the lower and upper bounds within which her height can lic. 161.5 em 162.5 em Lower boun Upper bound fi) Represent this range of numbers on a number line ng 161 1615 162 1625) 183 IV the girl’s height inequality. 16LS given that cach of the numbers is accurate to 1 d.p. 33.5 lies in the range 33.45 isgreater than > is greater than or equal to <_ is less than = is less than or equal to x= 3 implies that x is greater than or equal to 3, i.e. ean be 3, 4,4.2,5, 5.6, ete. 3 x can be rewritten as x <5, ie. can be 4, 3.2, 3,2.8, —7 = xcan be rewritten as x = —7, ie.x can be —7, -6, ele, These inequalities can also be represented on a number line: x<5 xo-7 Note that O——> implies that the number is not included in the solution whilst @———P implies that the number is included in the solution, Worked examples a) The maximum number of players from one football team allowed on the pitch at any one time is eleven. Represent this information: i) as an inequality, ii) onanumber line. i) Let the number of players be represented by the letter n,n must be less than or equal to 11.
