If a physician order is 25% dextrose 1000 mL and all you have is 70% dextrose 1000 mL and 5% dextrose how much 70% dextrose will

miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1000ml Of Dextrose 25% is needed to be produced from Dextrose 70%. Let us assume that x ml of Dextrose 70% is mixed with a Dextrose 5% to get 1000 ml of Dextrose 25%. Hence:

The amount of Dextrose 5% = 1000 ml - x ml = 1000 - x

25% of 1000 ml = 70% of x + 5% of (1000 - x)

25000 = 70x + 5000 - 5x

Simplifying gives:

65x = 25000 - 5000

65x = 20000

x = 308 ml

Therefore 308 ml of Dextrose 70% was mixed with 692 ml of Dextrose 5% to produce 1000 ml of Dextrose 25%.

Tonya and Leo each bought a cell phone at the same time. The trade-in values, in dollars, of the cell phones are modeled by the

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The answer is Tonya's phone had the greater initial trade-in value.

Leo's phone decreases at an average rate slower than the trade in value of Tonya's phone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tonya

$f(x) = 490 * 0.88^x$

Leo

$x \to g(x)$

$0 \to 480$

$2 \to 360$

$4 \to 470$

Solving (a): The phone with greater initial value

The initial value is when x = 0. So, we have:

$f(x) = 490 * 0.88^x$

$f(0) = 490 * 0.88^0$

$f(0) = 490 * 1$

$f(0) = 490$

From Leo's table

$g(0) = 480$

By comparison;

$f(0) > g(0)$

i.e.

$490 > 480$

<em>So: Tonya's had the greater initial trade-in value</em>

Solving (b): The phone with lesser rate

An exponential function is:

$y = ab^x$

Where:

$b \to rate$

For Tonya

$b = 0.88$

For Leo, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,480)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,360)$

So, the equation becomes:

$y = ab^x$

$480 = ab^0$ and $360 = ab^2$

Solving $480 = ab^0$ , we have:

$480 = a * 1$

$480 = a$

$a= 480$

$360 = ab^2$ becomes

$360 = 480 * b^2$

Divide both sides by 480

$0.75 = b^2$

Take square roots

$0.87 = b$

$b=0.87$ -- Leo's rate

By comparison; Leo's rate is slower i.e. 0.87 < 0.88
