  1. Upper and lower boundaries Sometimes you may be given a value that has been rounded. You will have to decide on the upper and lower boundaries of that value. Eg. An answer is given as 42 to 2 s.f. What are the upper and lower boundaries?

  2. Upper and lower boundaries Sometimes you may be given a value that has been rounded. You will have to decide on the upper and lower boundaries of that value. Eg. An answer is given as 42 to 2 s.f. What are the upper and lower boundaries? Let’s look at a number line…… 41 42 43

  3. Upper and lower boundaries Sometimes you may be given a value that has been rounded. You will have to decide on the upper and lower boundaries of that value. Eg. An answer is given as 42 to 2 s.f. What are the upper and lower boundaries? Let’s look at a number line…… 41 41.5 42 42.5 43

  4. Upper and lower boundaries Sometimes you may be given a value that has been rounded. You will have to decide on the upper and lower boundaries of that value. Eg. An answer is given as 42 to 2 s.f. What are the upper and lower boundaries? Let’s look at a number line…… Any numbers in this range are given as 42 41 41.5 42 42.5 43

  5. Upper and lower boundaries We can write the range as 41.5 ≤ x < 42.5 Sometimes you may be given a value that has been rounded. You will have to decide on the upper and lower boundaries of that value. Eg. An answer is given as 42 to 2 s.f. What are the upper and lower boundaries? Let’s look at a number line…… Any numbers in this range are given as 42 41 41.5 42 42.5 43 Lower bound Upper bound

  6. Upper and lower boundaries Eg. An answer is given as 480 to 2 s.f. What are the upper and lower boundaries? Let’s look at a number line…… 470 480 490 Lower bound Upper bound

  7. Upper and lower boundaries We can write the range as 475 ≤ x < 485 Eg. An answer is given as 480 to 2 s.f. What are the upper and lower boundaries? Let’s look at a number line…… 470 475 480 485 490 Lower bound Upper bound
