Option B:

The expression equivalent to |a| ≤ 5 is a ≥ -5 and a ≤ 5.

Solution:

Given expression:

To find the equivalent expression for the given expression.

Apply absolute value rule:

If |x| ≤ m  then -m ≤ x ≤ m.

⇒ -5 ≤ a ≤ 5

⇒ -5 ≤ a and a ≤ 5

Switch the sides, we get

⇒ a ≥ -5 and a ≤ 5

The expression equivalent to |a| ≤ 5 is a ≥ -5 and a ≤ 5.

Option B is the correct answer.

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
