Industrial Safety System Analysis
You are working as an Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor at a manufacturing facility. Part of your role is to audit the safety mechanisms of the plant's chemical processing units. Two independent pressure-relief valves are monitored by automated digital sensors:
- Sensor A triggers a pressure alert if the normalized pressure value satisfies the inequality:
- Sensor B triggers a pressure alert if the normalized pressure value satisfies the inequality:
The master emergency cooling system is programmed to activate if Sensor A OR Sensor B registers an alert. During a system audit, a junior technician notices that the emergency cooling system is running continuously, regardless of the pressure level.
Write a response in which you:
- Recall and state the definition of a compound inequality joined by the word 'or' and explain how it relates to the mathematical concept of union.
- State the solved individual inequalities for both Sensor A and Sensor B.
- Use the definition of 'or' and your individual solutions to explain why the emergency cooling system remains permanently active for any real value of pressure , and express this complete set of values in interval notation.
