Answer:

200 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

It's proportions basically.

frst off, 2% of 100 ml is 2 ml, so the 100 ml solution has 2 ml of Minoxidil.

Eventually we want 6/100 to be the porportion.  so the total is going to be 100 (from the initial 100 ml) plus however much is needed x.  And we want the amount of Minoxidil to be 2 + 8 percent of x.  so this gets us the equation

6/100 = (2 + .08x)/(100+x)  Then we solve

(100 + x) 6/100 = 2 + .08x

(100 + x) 6 = 200 + 8x

600 + 6x = 200 + 8x

400 = 2x

x = 200

so they should add 200 ml

You can check too.  there is 100 + 200 ml of solution total and 2 + 16 ml of Minoxidil so that's 18/300 = 6/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, a 2 − b 2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b ) where a = 7 and b = a + x . − ( 7 + a + x ) ( a + x − 7 )

\[f(x)=\sqrt{x ^4-16x ^{2}}\]
marusya05 [52]
f ( x ) =  \sqrt{ x^{4} -16 x^{2} }
a ) The domain:
x^4 - 16 x² ≥ 0
x² ( x² - 16 ) ≥ 0
x² - 16 ≥ 0
x² ≥ 16
x ∈ ( - ∞, - 4 ] ∪ [ 4 , + ∞ )
b ) f ` ( x ) = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x ^{4}-16 x^{2}  } } *  ( x^{4}-16 x^{2} )` =
= ( 2 x³ - 16 x ) / √(x^4 - 16 x²)
c ) The slope of the tangent line at x = 5:
f ` ( 5 ) = ( 2 * 125 - 16 * 5 ) / √ ( 625 - 400 ) = 170 / 15 = 34 / 3

. A square picture frame occupies an area of 112 ft2 . What is the length of each side of the picture in simplified radical form
saw5 [17]
Recall that a square is just a rectangle with all sides equal.

and the area of a rectangle is just length * width.

\bf \textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\&#10;A=length\cdot width\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;length=x\\&#10;width=x\\&#10;A=112&#10;\end{cases}\implies 112=x\cdot x\implies 112=x^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\sqrt{112}=x\implies \sqrt{16\cdot 7}=x\implies \sqrt{4^2\cdot 7}=x\implies 4\sqrt{7}=x
