The milligrams of aspirin in a person's body is given by the equation a = 500*(3/4^t), where t is the number of hours since the

patient took the medicine.
In the equation, what does 500 tell us about the situation?

SOMEONE ANSWER PLS!!

500 represents the initial amount of medication, since when t=0, a=500.

Answer:

$-x^2+24x-70$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x-1)^2+(2-x)^2-3(x-5)*(x-5)\\=> (x - 1)^2 + (2 - x)^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 2x + 1 + 4 - 4x + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 2x + 5 - 4x + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 6x + 5 + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3(x^2 - 10x + 25)\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3x^2+30x-75\\=> -x^2 - 6x + 5 + 30x - 75\\=> -x^2 + 24x + 5-75\\=> -x^2+24x-70$

Formula used =

$(a-b)^2 = a^2+ 2ab + b^2$

The function f is linear. If f(2) = 2 and f(-6)=6 find f(6)

lina2011 [118]

$The\ slope-intercept\ form:y=mx+b\\\\f(2)=2\to for\ x=2\to y=2\\f(-6)=6\to for x=-6\to y=6\\\\put\ in\ equation\ of\ the\ line:\\\\ -\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2=2m+b\\6=-6m+b\end{array}\right\ \ \ |subtract\ sides\ of\ the\ equations\\----------\\.\ \ \ -4=8m\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 8\\.\ \ \ \ \boxed{m=-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\put\ m=-\frac{1}{2}\ to\ equation\ 2=2m+b:\\\\2=2\cdot(-\frac{1}{2})+b\\2=-1+b\ \ \ \ |add\ 1\ to\ both\ sides\\\boxed{b=3}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3}}$

$therefore:f(x)=-\frac{1}{2}x+3\Rightarrow f(6)=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot6+3=-3+3=0\\\\Answer:\boxed{f(6)=0}$

Need help with this geometry

Rasek [7]

Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid segment HJ is half of the third side GK , that is

HJ = $\frac{1}{2}$ GK , substitute values

2y = $\frac{1}{2}$ (y + 6) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

4y = y + 6 ( subtract y from both sides )

3y = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 2
