Approximately 0.02% of a 100-mg dose of the drug miglitol (Glyset) has been shown to appear in human breast milk. Calculate the
1 answer:
Answer:
Following a single dose, 0.02mg of the drug is detected.
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage problems can be solved as a rule of three problem.
In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.
When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too. In this case, the rule of three is a cross multiplication.
When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease. In this case, the rule of three is a line multiplication.
Calculate the quantity of drug detected, in milligrams, following a single dose.
The quantity is 0.02% of 100mg. So:
100mg - 100%
xmg - 0.02%
100x = 100*0.02
x = 0.02mg
Following a single dose, 0.02mg of the drug is detected.

we have the function
Remember that
The Amplitude is the height from the center line to the peak (or to the trough). Or we can measure the height from highest to lowest points and divide that by 2
In the general form of the equation of the sine
The amplitude is the factor A
so
In this problem
The amplitude is 1/2
using a graphing tool
Note that the amplitude is the height from the center line to the peak (the center line is the x-axis, so the distance is 0.5.
