A veterinarian knows that a 50-pound dog gets 0.5 milligram of a certain medicine, and that the number of milligrams, m, varies

directly with the weight of the dog, w. The vet uses these steps to find the amount of medicine to give a 10-pound dog. Step 1 Find the constant of variation. Step 2 Write the direct variation equation. Step 3 Substitute 10 into the equation to find the dosage for a 10-pound dog. Step 4 Solve for w. The 10-pound dog needs 1000 milligrams. In which step did the veterinarian make the first error?

Step 1 Find the constant of variation.

Step 2 Write the direct variation equation.

Step 3 Substitute 10 into the equation to find the dosage for a 10-pound dog.

Step 4 Solve for w.

If the vet mis-calculated the 10-pound dog needs 1000 milligrams, then the mistake is in Step 3. He put 10 in the wrong side of the equation.

Which Graph Represents The solution set of this inequality?
Alex

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In order to determine the inequality, you must first solve the solution set to determine what x is less than.

So you would do this:

1 + 2x < 9             Subtract 1

2x < 8                  Divide by 2

x < 4

2. Next, you need to understand the difference between an open circle and a closed circle shown on the solution sets.

An open circle is equal to the following inequalities:

<, >

A Closed circle represents inequalities in situations such as:

greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to

3. Because the inequality above represents only less than or greater than the inequality sets should have an open circle being used.

Since x is less than 4 it should be moving to the left of the line inequality set.

Bryce spent $5.26 on some apples prices at $0.64 each and some pears priced at $0.45 each. at another store he could have bought
Reil [10]
Let the number of apples be x and that of pears be y, then:
0.64x + 0.45y = 5.26 . . . (1)
0.32x + 0.39y = 3.62 . . . (2)

(2) x 2 => 0.64x + 0.78y = 7.24 . . . (3)
(1) - (3) => -0.33y = -1.98
y = -1.98 / -0.33 = 6

From (2), 0.32x + 0.39(6) = 3.62
0.32x = 3.62 - 2.34 = 1.28
x = 1.28 / 0.32 = 4

Therefore, he bought 4 apples and 6 pears.

Add three data values to the following data set so the mean increases by 10 but the median does not change. The numbers are 42 3
777dan777 [17]
In order the numbers are 20, 29, 32, 37, 42.
So that means the median is 32. In order for the median to stay the same one of the three data values must be 32 as well as adding a number to each side of the ends. One 32 or less another 32or more.
The mean right now is: 20+29+32+37+42=160 and there are 5 values.
Mean: 160/5=32
For it to increase by 10 it has to be 42.
extra 3 numbers I used were 31, 32, & 113 (those are your answer)
