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

$x = \frac{100*0.02}{100}$

x = 0.02mg

Following a single dose, 0.02mg of the drug is detected.

56. How many tangent lines to the curve <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3Dx%20%2F%28x%2B1%29" id="TexFormula1" title="y=x /(

PIT_PIT [208]

There are 2 tangent lines that pass through the point

$y=\frac{1}{(-1+\sqrt{3)^2} } (x-1)+2$

and

$y=\frac{1}{(-1-\sqrt{3)^2} } (x-1)+2$

Explanation:

Given:

$y=\frac{x}{x+1}$

The point-slope form of the equation of a line tells us that the form of the tangent lines must be:

$y=m(x-1)+2$ $[1]$

For the lines to be tangent to the curve, we must substitute the first derivative of the curve for $m$ :

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{d(x)}{dx}(x+1)-x^\frac{d(x+1)}{dx} \\ \\$

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{x+1-x}{(x+1)^2}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{1}{(x+1)^2}$

$m=\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}$ $[2]$

Substitute equation [2] into equation [1]:

$y=\frac{x-1}{(x+1)^2}+2$ $[1.1]$

Because the line must touch the curve, we may substitute $y=\frac{x}{x+1}:$

$\frac{x}{x+1}=\frac{x-1}{(x+1)^2}+2$

Solve for x:

$x(x+1)=(x-1)+2(x+1)^2$

$x^2+x=x-1+2x^2+4x+2$

$x^2+4x+1$

$x\frac{-4±\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(1)} }{2(1)}$

$x=-2$ ± $\sqrt{3}$

$x=-2$ ± $\sqrt{3}$ <em> </em> $and$ $x=-2-\sqrt{3}$

There are 2 tangent lines.

$y=\frac{1}{(-1+\sqrt{3)^2} } (x-1)+2$

and

$y=\frac{1}{(-1-\sqrt{3)^2} } (x-1)+2$

If the number of Conference participants decreases by 20% compared to last year, there would be 1760 participants this year. If

Basile [38]

2,640 this year
2,112 last year

the 1760 is 20% less than - so 120% of 1760 is the previous year:
1760 * 1.2 = 2112

2112 increased by 25% is a total of 125%:
2112 *1.25 = 2640
