If the recommended adult dosage for a drug is D (in mg), then to determine the appropriate dosage c for a child of age a, pharma

cists use the equation c = 0.0417D(a + 1). Suppose the dosage for an adult is 200 mg.
(a) Find the slope of the graph of c. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(b) What is the dosage for a newborn? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

a) The slope of the graph of c is 8.34.

b) The dosage for a newborn is 8.34mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

A first order function in the following format

c(a) = ba + d

Has slope b.

The appropriate dosage c is a function of the age a.

In this problem, we have that:

c(a) = 0.0417D(a + 1)

Suppose the dosage for an adult is 200 mg. This means that D = 200

So

c(a) = 0.0417*200(a + 1)

c(a) = 8.34a + 8.34

(a) Find the slope of the graph of c.

The slope of the graph of c is 8.34.

(b) What is the dosage for a newborn? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

A newborn has age a = 0. So this is c(0).

c(a) = 8.34a + 8.34

c(0) = 8.34*0 + 8.34 = 8.34

The dosage for a newborn is 8.34mg.

<h2><u>DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY</u></h2>

The distributive property indicates that multiplying a number by the sum of two addends is equal to multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.

In general terms:

<h3>m(n + p) = mn + mp</h3>

‎      ‏‏‎

<u>In this exercise</u>:

Let's apply the distributive property:

\mathsf{2(3w - 5y)}

= \mathsf{2(3w) - 2(5y)}

= \boxed{\mathsf{6w - 10y}}

‎      ‏‏‎

<h3><u>Answer</u>: 6w - 10y</h3>
