Answer:

q8h dosage = 112.5mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Child Weight = 22.5 kg

Daily Intravenous Dosage = 40mg/kg

Type of Dose = q8h

Required

Calculate the q8h per dose

We start by calculating the total daily dosage in mg

This is calculated by multiplying the child weight by the intravenous dosage

Daily Dosage = 22.5kg * 40mg/kg

Daily Dosage = 900mg

This implies that the body weight requires 900 mg daily

Next is to calculate the q8h dosage

q8h means every 8 hours.

q8h dosage = 900mg/8

q8h dosage = 112.5mg

What is the coefficient of q in the sum of (2/3q-3/4) and(-1/6q-r)?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The coefficient is $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sum is

$(\frac{2}{3}q -\frac{3}{4})+(-\frac{1}{6}q-r)$

We can choose to add only the coeffients of $q$ or simplify the whole sum.

$=\frac{2}{3}q -\frac{1}{6}q-\frac{3}{4})-r)$

We collect the LCM for the $q$ terms;

$=\frac{4-1}{6}q-\frac{3}{4})-r)$

This will give us;

$=\frac{3}{6}q-\frac{3}{4})-r)$

Which is the same as

$=\frac{1}{2}q-r-\frac{3}{4}$

The coefficient is $\frac{1}{2}$

Plot the corresponding points for the inverse of the function represented by this table of values. x -4 0 3 7

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) for which

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x&-4&0&3&7\\ \\f(x)&9&5&2&-2\end {array}$

If you want to plot the corresponding points for the inverse of the function f(x), change $f(x)$ into $y$ :

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x&-4&0&3&7\\ \\y&9&5&2&-2\end {array}$

switch x and y

$\begin{array}{ccccc}y&-4&0&3&7\\ \\x&9&5&2&-2\end {array}$

and then change $y$ into $f^{-1}(x).$

You get

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x&9&5&2&-2\\ \\f^{-1}(x)&-4&0&3&7\end {array}$

Now plot these points on the coordinate plane (see attached diagram).
