Answer:

a. 24.9476 Kg.

b. The safe daily dosage range is between 2494760 units /day and 6236900 units/day

c. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Lets see the convertion from lb to Kg:

  • 1 Lb= 0.453592
  • 55 lb = 0.453592*55= 24.9476 kg

b. Minimum daily dosage is 100,000 units /kg

  • For this kid: 100,000 * 24.9476= 2,494,760 units/ day
  • in 6 dosis; 2494760/6= 415,793.33 units every 4 hours

Maximun daily dosage is 250,000 units /kg

  • For this kid: 250,000 * 24.9476= 6,236,900 units/ day
  • in 6 dosis; 6,236,900/6= 1,039,483.33 units every 4 hours

c: Yes, because 525.000 units every 4 hours is between the minimun and maximun dosaje for this kid

The midpoint of AB is (3,2). If point is is located at(8,4) what are the coordinates of point B
Dmitry [639]

Step-by-step explanation:

8-3 = 5,

3-5 = -2 = the x coordinate of B

-2-4 =-6,

-2-6 =-8 = the y coordinate of B

(-2,-8) is the point B

A is 5 to the right of the midpoint, so B is 5 to the left of the midpoint

A is 6 up from the midpoint so B is 6 down from the midpoint

1. Which represents the type of sequence: -99, -96, -92, -87, -81, …?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
So here are the answers for the given questions above:
1. Based on the given values above, the correct answer would be option B. NEITHER ARITHMETIC NOR GEOMETRIC. Why? When we say arithmetic sequence, the values should have a common difference which remains constant all throughout the sequence, and this sequence does not qualify. On the other hand, a geometric sequence should have a common ratio, and these numbers do not have one.
2. The correct answer for this problem would be option C. <span>121,520.
Based on the given values above, the values have a common ratio of 1.1. So what we are going to do is just to multiply 1.1 each time and by 2016, we will get </span>121,520.
Hope these answers help.
