Answer:

2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we use the Pythagorean theorem which is shown below:

Given that

The right triangle OMP

The hypotenuse i.e OM is the circle radius =5 units.

The segment MP = 4 units length

Therefore

$OP^2 + MP^2 = OM^2$

$OP^2 + 4^2 = 5^2$

$OP^2 + 16 = 25$

So OP is 3

Now as we can see that ON is also circle radius so it would be 5 units

And,

ON = OP + PN

So,

PN is

= ON - OP

= 5 units - 3 units

= 2 units

Use a half-angle identity to find the exact value

Tatiana [17]

Given:

$\cos 15^{\circ}$

To find:

The exact value of cos 15°.

Solution:

$$\cos 15^{\circ}=\cos\frac{ 30^{\circ}}{2}$

Using half-angle identity:

$$\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos (x)}{2}}$

$$\cos \frac{30^{\circ}}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)}{2}}$

Using the trigonometric identity: $\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$$=\sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}$

Let us first solve the fraction in the numerator.

$$=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}$

Using fraction rule: $\frac{\frac{a}{b} }{c}=\frac{a}{b \cdot c}$

$$=\sqrt{\frac {2+\sqrt{3}}{4}}$

Apply radical rule: $\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}$

$$=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{4}}$

Using $\sqrt{4} =2$ :

$$=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$

$$\cos 15^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

1 tablet

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The dose of the Uniphyl = 5 mg/kg

Strength of the Uniphyl = 400 mg per tablet

Weight of the patient = 76 kg

Now,

The recommended dose for the patient

= Dose of the Uniphyl × weight of the patient

= 5 mg/kg × 76 kg

= 380 mg

Therefore,

The number of tablets to be administered to the patient

= $\frac{\textup{Recommended dose for the patient}}{\textup{Strength of the Uniphyl}}$

= $\frac{\textup{380}}{\textup{400}}$

= 0.95 ≈ 1 tablet

Hence,

The number of tablets to be administered to the patient is 1
