Of the 187 who took additional supplements, 11 of them suffered broken bones over the three-year period. Of the 202 older Americans who did not take the additional supplement, 26 of them suffered broken bones over the study period.

Answer:

\frac{37}{389}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  medical study investigated the effect of calcium and vitamin supplements on the risk of older Americans for broken bones. A total of 389 older Americans who lived at home and were in good health were studied over a three-year period. While all of the 389 people took in at least 700 milligrams of calcium and 200 units of vitamin D through their normal diet, 187 of them were given additional supplements containing 500 milligrams of calcium citrate and 70 units of vitamin D daily. Of the 187 who took additional supplements, 11 of them suffered broken bones over the three-year period. Of the 202 older Americans who did not take the additional supplement, 26 of them suffered broken bones over the study period.

At which values of x does the function F(x) have a vertical asymptote? Check all that apply.
Anton [14]

You get vertical asymptotes because the x-value causes you to try to divide by 0.  

If you look at the denominator, the x-values of 0, 1, and -5 all will make the denominator equal to 0, making the whole function explode.  

    You find these by solving  3x(x-1)(x+5)=0.

That's your answer: 0, 1, and -5

Since all squares are similar, then the ratio of one square’s side to perimeter is proportional to any other’s. If the side of a
kotegsom [21]
The perimeter is 36 yd.

We set up a proportion to represent this situation.  We know that the ratio of the side to the perimeter is the same for every square.  This means that the ratio of the first square, 2/8 is the same for the second one.  We know that the side length is 9, which gives us:

2/8 = 9/x

Cross multiply:
2*x = 8*9
2x = 72

Divide both sides by 2:
2x/2 = 72/2
x = 36
