The discussion revolves around formulating a compound inequality related to the acceptable ages for candidates applying to the U.S. Air Force Academy. The problem specifies age constraints: candidates must be at least 17 years old but not yet 22 years old on July 1 of the year they enter the academy.
Some participants have confirmed the correctness of the proposed compound inequality, while others have expressed frustration with the discussion format. The conversation reflects a mix of validation and commentary on the discussion etiquette.
The original poster's inquiry is framed within the context of a homework assignment, which may impose specific requirements or expectations for the response format.
GLprincess02 said:A question on my homework reads "A candiate for admission to the U.S. Air Force Academy must be at least 17 years old but not yet 22 years old on July 1 of the year of entering the academy. Write the acceptable ages as a compound inequality."
For an answer I got: {A:17 < (or = to) A < 22}. Is this right?
