Round down this calculation to Ofe ucci piacer ). Order: Uniphyl (theophylline) 5 mg/kg po loading dose stat. The strength of th

Answer:

1 tablet

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The dose of the Uniphyl = 5 mg/kg

Strength of the Uniphyl = 400 mg per tablet

Weight of the patient = 76 kg

Now,

The recommended dose for the patient

= Dose of the Uniphyl × weight of the patient

= 5 mg/kg × 76 kg

= 380 mg

Therefore,

The number of tablets to be administered to the patient

= $\frac{\textup{Recommended dose for the patient}}{\textup{Strength of the Uniphyl}}$

= $\frac{\textup{380}}{\textup{400}}$

= 0.95 ≈ 1 tablet

Hence,

The number of tablets to be administered to the patient is 1

Can Somebody Please Explain How To Do It? THANKS

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

9

Discussion:

Solution 1:

Distance between two points (x1, y1), (x2,y2) is given by the formula

sqrt( (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2). In our case this becomes

sqrt( (0-0)^2 + (12 -3)^2 ) =

sqrt( 9^2) =

9.

Solution 2:

Note points D and E both have x = 0 so segment DE is a vertical segment. The length is simply the difference of the y coordinates: 12- 3 = 9 as before.

Thank you,

Here we will study the function f (x) = e ^ x sin (x), where x ∈ [0, 2π]. a) Determine where the function is decreasing and incr

Semmy [17]

fff

$f(x) = e^x sin (x)$

To find increasing and decreasing intervals we take derivative

$f'(x) = e^xsin(x)+e^x(cosx)= e^x(sinx+cosx)$

Now we set the derivative =0 and solve for x

$e^x(sinx+cosx)=0$

sinx + cosx =0

divide whole equation by cos x

$\frac{sinx}{cosx} + \frac{cosx}{cosx} =0$

tanx +1 =0

tanx = 1

$x=\frac{3\pi }{4}$ and $x=\frac{7\pi}{4}$

Now we pick a number between 0 to $\frac{3\pi }{4}$

Lets pick $\frac{\pi }{2}$

Plug it into the derivative

$f'(x) =e^{\frac{\pi }{2}}(sin(\frac{\pi}{2})+cos(\frac{\pi }{2}))$

= 4.810 is positive

So the graph of f(x) is increasing on the interval [0, $x=\frac{3\pi }{4}$ )

Now we pick a number between $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ to 2pi

Lets pick $\frac{11\pi}{6}$

Plug it into the derivative

$f'(x) =e^{\frac{11\pi}{6}}(sin(\frac{11\pi}{6})+cos(\frac{11\pi }{6}))$

= 116 is positive

So the graph of f(x) is increasing on the interval $(\frac{7\pi }{4}, 2\pi)$

Increasing interval is $(0,\frac{3\pi }{4}) U (\frac{7\pi }{4}, 2\pi)$

Decreasing interval is $(\frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4})$

(b)

The graph of f(x) increases and reaches a local maximum at $x=\frac{3\pi}{4}$

The graph of f(x) decreases and reaches a local minimum at $x=\frac{7\pi}{4}$

(c)

f(0) = 0

$f(2\pi)=0$

$f(\frac{3\pi }{4})=7.46$

$f(\frac{7\pi}{4})=-172.64$

Here global maximum at $x=\frac{3\pi}{4}$

Here global minimum at $x=\frac{7\pi}{4}$

John and Jake are facing each other from a distance. Iniko turns counter-clockwise 30° and starts walking. Vaughan turns clockwi

The angle between the paths of John and Jake who were once facing each other comes to 58°.

What is the definition of angle between paths?

The angle between paths simply refers to sum of the angles of both paths should the line of the paths be extended indefinitely to the point where they both meet.

The problem above is envision as indicated in the attached image. Recall that they were both facing each other - thus creating an imaginary straight line.

Soon as they turned in different directions and walked in that direction, they created two different lines. Hence the total angle between them becomes the sum of the angles with which they turned. Which is

30 + 28 = 58°

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure. solve for x

eimsori [14]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. We can then sum up our angles as 90 (since it's a right triangle, represented by the square in the bottom left angle) +27+6x+3=180

90+27+6x+3=180

Add up left side

120+6x=180

Subtract 120 from both sides

6x=60

Divide both sides by 6

x=10
