Sophia has an ear infection. The doctor prescribes a course of antibiotics. Sophia is told to take 500 mg doses of the antibioti

c regularly every 12 hours for 10 days. Sophia is curious and wants to know how much of the drug will be in her body over the course of the 10 days. She does some research online and finds out that at the end of 12 hours, about 4.5% of the drug is still in the body. What quantity of the drug is in the body right after the first dose, the second dose, the third dose, the fourth dose (10 points)? When will the total amount of the antibiotic in Sophia’s body be the highest? What is that amount (10 points)? Answer Sophia’s original question: Describe how much of the drug will be in her body at various points over the course of the 10 days (10 points).

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Dosage= 500 mg

Frequency= twice a day (every 12 hours)

Duration= 10 days

Number of dosage= 10*2= 20

residual drug amount after each dosage= 4.5%

We can build an equation to calculate residual drug amount:

d= 500*(4.5/100)*t= 22.5t, where d- is residual drug, t is number of dosage

After first dose residual drug amount is:

  • d= 500*0.045= 22.5 mg

After second dose:

  • d= 22.5*2= 45 mg

As per the equation, the higher the t, the greater the residual drug amount in the body.

Maximum residual drug will be in the body:

  • d= 20*22.5= 450 mg at the end of 10 days

Maximum drug will be in the body right after the last dose, when the amount will be:

  • 500+19*22.5= 927.5 mg

Ameeta finished 12 math problems. David finished 3 times as many. How many more math problems did David finish than Ameeta?
Volgvan
  • Answer:
  • david finished 24 problems more than ameetha
  • Step-by-step explanation:
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problems</em>
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problemsproblems finished by David = 3 times more than ameethas problem = 3*12 = 36</em>
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problemsproblems finished by David = 3 times more than ameethas problem = 3*12 = 36the problems finished by David more than ameetha =</em>
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problemsproblems finished by David = 3 times more than ameethas problem = 3*12 = 36the problems finished by David more than ameetha =36-12= 24 </em>
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problemsproblems finished by David = 3 times more than ameethas problem = 3*12 = 36the problems finished by David more than ameetha =36-12= 24 so David finished 24 problems more than ameetha</em>

Which statement are true
Ket [755]

Answer:

  • Line XY contains ray OX and ray OY
  • Line XY contains segment YX
  • Ray YX exists in the diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

A ray can be named by any pair of points on an infinite line. Point O, X, and Y on the same line can be used to name rays OX, OY, XY, YX, OY, and XO. The first point named is the end point of the ray. The ray goes through the other point and continues indefinitely.

BA can be the name of a line segment, but not a ray. The line shown does not extend from point B beyond point A.

Any segment can be named by its end points in either order.

So, we have ...

  • Line XY contains ray OX and ray OY
  • Line XY contains segment YX
  • Ray YX exists in the diagram
