Answer: D. The number of times the drug has removed a certain percentage of fluid from the patient's lungs

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard exponential function Ab^x, A is the initial amount and b is the multiplicative factor and x is the number of time periods.

Given: A medical lab is testing a drug that removes a certain percent of fluid from the lungs of a patient every eight hours.

The expression below represents the number of milligrams of fluid remaining in a patient's lungs after n days.

4.000(0.58)^3n,

As comparing to the standard exponential equation,  here 3n represents the number of times the drug has removed a certain percentage of fluid from the patient's lungs.

Find the value of the variable. If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.
tester [92]

So this is considered a "special triangle." The 30-60-90 triangle states that if the short leg is x, then the hypotenuse is 2x and the long leg is x√3.

Since we have the short leg, to find the hypotenuse, or y in this case, multiply the short leg by 2:

17 × 2 = 34

Next, to find the long leg, or x in this case, multiply the short leg by √3:

17 × √3 = 17√3

<u>In short, x = 17√3 and y = 34. The correct option is the last option.</u>

2. Graph the following equation: y = - 1/2 x + 4
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (-1/2)x + 4 is the equation of a straight line with y-intercept (0, 4) and slope -1/2.

To graph this, first plot the y-intercept (0, 4).

Recall that slope m = rise / run, and notice that the slope in this particular case is -1/2 = rise / run, or rise = -1 and run = 2.

Starting with your pencil point on (0, 4), move the point 2 units to the right (run = 2), arriving at (2, 4).  Next, move your pencil point 1 unit down, to (2, 3).

Draw a straight line through (0, 4) and (2, 3).

Rewrite each equation in vertex form by completing the square. Then identify the vertex.
ioda

ANSWER

Vertex form;

y = 3( {x +  \frac{3}{2} })^{2}  -  \frac{35}{4}

Vertex

V(  - \frac{3}{2} , -  \frac{35}{4} )

EXPLANATION

Given:

f(x) = 3 {x}^{2}  + 9x - 2

We complete the square as follows:

y = 3( {x}^{2}  + 3x) - 2

y = 3( {x}^{2}  + 3x +  \frac{9}{4} ) - 2 - 3 \times  \frac{9}{4}

The vertex form is:

y = 3( {x +  \frac{3}{2} })^{2}  -  \frac{35}{4}

The vertex is

V(  - \frac{3}{2} , -  \frac{35}{4} )
