Answer:

The larger number is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be represented by x and y.  Then:

x + y = 8   is their sum, and

x² + y² = 34 is the sum of their squares.

Let's solve this system of equations using substitution.  Since x + y = 8,

x = 8 - y.  Subbing this 8 - y for x into the second equation, we get:

(8 - y)² + y² = 34, or

64 - 16 y + y² + y² = 34

Simplifying, we get first: 30 - 16y + 2y² = 0, and then:

2y² - 16y + 30 = 0, and after reducing, y² - 8y + 15 = 0.

This factors into (y - 3)(y - 5) = 0, and so y = 3 and y = 5.

The larger number is 5.

A 1L IV contains 60meq of kcal. The IV was discontinued after 400ml has infused. How much lvl did the patient receive
Leya [2.2K]

If a 1L IV contains 60meq of kcal and the IV was discontinued after 400ml has infused, then the amount of IV received by the patient is 24meq of kcal.

Calculation for the Amount of IV

It is given that,

1L IV contains 60meq of kcal

⇒ 1000 mL of IV contains 60meq of kcal

⇒ 1 mL of IV will contain 60 / 1000 meq of kcal

As per the question,

The amount of IV infused in the patient = 400 mL

⇒ The amount of IV received by the patient in meq of kcal = 400 × (60 / 1000)

= 4 × 6

= 24 meq of kcal

Hence, the patient receives 24meq of kcal amount of IV.
