The temperature of the patient is given by the relation,
|T-98.6| < = 2.
To find the lowest temperature the
patient had during the illness.
|T-98.6| < =
2
Therefore for T > 98.6 , the relation is T -98.6
< = 2. Or
T < = 96.6+2 = 98.6 . But this
solution of T is not giving us the required information , as it gives the information of
maximum temperature.
So we gor for T < =
98.6.
When T< =98.6 , the relation |T-98.6| <
2 implies 98.6 -T < 2. Or
98.6 - T+T <
= 2+T.
98.6 < =2+T
98.6
-2 < = 2-2 +T
96.6 < =
T.
Therefore this gives the information that lowest
temperature the patient had was 96.6 during his illness.
