a. At a pharmacy, a parent asks a pharmacist why her child needs such a smaller dosage of a certain medicine. The pharmacist exp

lains that a general formula may be used to estimate a child's dosage of certain medicines. The formula is as follows: (child's weight in kilograms)x adult dose Child's dose = 67.5 kg What is the amount of medicine you would give a 60-lb child if the adult dosage of the medicine is 70 mg? b. At what weight, in pounds, would the child receive an adult dose?

Answer: 28.23 dosage for child

Step-by-step explanation:

60 lbs = 27.22 kg

27.22 ÷ 67.5 = 0.403

0.403 × 70 = 28.33

Find the product of all real values of r for which 1/2x=r-x/7

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$r = \±\sqrt{14$

$Product = -14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}$

Required

Find all product of real values that satisfy the equation

$\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}$

Cross multiply:

$2x(r - x) = 7 * 1$

$2xr - 2x^2 = 7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$2xr - 2x^2 -7= 7 -7$

$2xr - 2x^2 -7= 0$

Reorder

$- 2x^2+ 2xr -7= 0$

Multiply through by -1

$2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0$

The above represents a quadratic equation and as such could take either of the following conditions.

(1) No real roots:

This possibility does not apply in this case as such, would not be considered.

(2) One real root

This is true if

$b^2 - 4ac = 0$

For a quadratic equation

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

By comparison with $2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0$

$a = 2$

$b = -2r$

$c =7$

Substitute these values in $b^2 - 4ac = 0$

$(-2r)^2 - 4 * 2 * 7 = 0$

$4r^2 - 56 = 0$

Add 56 to both sides

$4r^2 - 56 + 56= 0 + 56$

$4r^2 = 56$

Divide through by 4

$r^2 = 14$

Take square roots

$\sqrt{r^2} = \±\sqrt{14$

$r = \±\sqrt{14$

Hence, the possible values of r are:

$\sqrt{14$ or $-\sqrt{14$

and the product is:

$Product = \sqrt{14} * -\sqrt{14}$

$Product = -14$

The distance around a meteor crater is 9,033ft. Find the diameter of the crater. Use 22/7 for pi. Round to the nearest tenth

Aleonysh [2.5K]

<span>We know that the circumference of a circle is equal to pi times the diameter of the circle. Therefore, assuming this crater to be circular in shape, we can divide the circumference by pi, in this case 9033*7/22, yielding an answer of 2874.1 feet after rounding.</span>
