Sickle-cell disease is a painful disorder of the red blood cells that in the United States affects mostly African Americans. To

investigate whether the drug hydroxyurea can reduce the pain associated with sickle-cell disease, a study by the National Institutes of Health gave the drug to 150 sickle-cell sufferers and a placebo to another 150 sufferers. The researchers then counted the number of episodes of pain reported by each subject. What is the response variable in this study

Answer:

<u>The response variable is; reduction in the pain associated with sickle-cell disease.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, a response variable (dependent variable) simply refers to resulting effect (either significant or insignificant effect) of the independent variable on the subjects of the experiment.

In other words, the effect of the drug hydroxyurea after the experiment would show whether it leads to or not lead to a reduction in the pain associated with sickle-cell disease.

Hey there!

2ab + 2 / 2ab - 2

= 2(1)(3) + 2 / 2(1)(3) - 2

= 2(3) + 2 / 2(3) - 2

= 6 + 2 / 6 - 2

= 8 / 4

= 2


Therefore, your answer should be: 2


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Contains the point (-1, 2) and is parallel to<br> x – 2y = -3
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange x - 2y = - 3 into this form

Subtract x from both sides

- 2y = - x - 3 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{2} ← in slope- intercept form

with m = \frac{1}{2}

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = \frac{1}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 2) into the partial equation

2 = - \frac{1}{2} + c ⇒ c = 2 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{5}{2} ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2

2y = x + 5 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

0 = x - 2y + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 5 = x - 2y, thus

x - 2y = - 5 ← in standard form

A rectangular field on a farm is to be fenced in using the wall of the barn for one side and 200 meters of fencing for the other
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Rectangular area as a function of x :   A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

A(max) = 5000 m²

Dimensions:

x = 50 m

l  = 100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

"x" is the length of the perpendicular side to the wall of the rectangular area to be fenced, and we call "l" the other side (parallel to the wall of the barn) then:

A(r) = x* l     and the perimeter of the rectangular shape is

P = 2*x + 2*l   but we won´t use any fencing material along the wll of the barn therefore

P  =  2*x + l       ⇒   200 = 2*x  + l      ⇒   l  = 200 - 2*x      (1)

And the rectangular area as a function of x is:

A(x)  = x * ( 200 - 2*x)  ⇒  A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x)  =  200 - 4*x     ⇒   A´= 0

Then    200 - 4*x  = 0     ⇒   4*x =  200   ⇒  x  = 50 m

We find the l value, plugging the value of x in equation (1)

l  = 200 - 2*x     ⇒ l = 200 - 2*50   ⇒  l = 100  m

A(max)  =  100*50

A(max)  = 5000 m²
