Yes, you are correct. The answer to your problem is indeed 4.
Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the the solving equation is triple the slope of the given equation. Therefore, the y coefficient must also be triple of the other y coefficient.
Answer:
B) (35, 260)
Step-by-step explanation:
A veterinarian will prescribe an antibiotic to a dog based on its weight. The effective dosage of the antibiotic is given by d ≥ 1∕5w2, where d is dosage in milligrams and w is the dog's weight in pounds. Which of the following ordered pairs gives an effective dosage of antibiotics for a 35-pound dog?
A) (35, 240)
B) (35, 260)
C) (260, 35)
D) (240, 35)
Ordered pairs is composed of pairs, usually an x coordinate and a y coordinate. It refers to a location of a point on the coordinate. It matches numbers to functions or relations.
Given the relation between d is dosage in milligrams and w is the dog's weight in pounds as d ≥ 1∕5w²
For a 35 pound dog (i.e w = 35 pound). The dosage is given as:
d ≥ 1∕5(35)² ≥ 245 milligrams.
For an ordered pair (x, y), x is the independent variable (input) and y is the dependent variable (output).
The dog weight is the independent variable and the dosage is the dependent variable.
From the ordered pairs, the best option is (35, 260) because 260 ≥ 240
By definition, we have
So, we have to solve two different equations, depending of the possible range for the variable. We have to remember about these ranges when we decide to accept or discard the solutions:
Suppose that 
In this case, the absolute value doesn't do anything: the equation is
We are supposing 
, so we can accept this solution.
Now, suppose that 
. Now the sign of the expression is flipped by the absolute value, and the equation becomes
Again, the solution is coherent with the assumption, so we can accept this value as well.
Segment A is a linear constant. In general a linear constant will be y=k for a horizontal line or x=k for a vertical line.
