QuestionAnalyze LDL cholesterol levels and write inequalities for the "borderline high" category. Options: A. B. C. D.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The LDL cholesterol number is represented by the variable .
. The categories are defined by the LDL cholesterol number ranges provided in the problem.
3. The borderline high category is defined by a certain range of .
STEP 2
We need to find the range of that corresponds to the borderline high category. This is given in the problem as128-159.
STEP 3
We can write this range as an inequality. The LDL cholesterol number must be greater than or equal to128 and less than or equal to159. This can be written as
STEP 4
We can now compare this inequality to the answer choices given in the problem. The correct answer is the one that matches our inequality.
STEP 5
Comparing our inequality with the answer choices, we find that the correct answer is A. .
So, the linear inequality for the borderline high category is .
