Convert the dose into mg / lb

1 lb = .45 Kg

so the does = 6 * .45 = 2.7 mg/lb

so the daily dose of the patient is 93 * 2.7 = 251.1 mg

injections are available in 50mg per mL

to calculate the daily dose in mL 251.1 / 50 = 5 mL

Which shows the first step in the solution to the<br> equation log₂x + log₂(x - 6) = 4?
iren [92.7K]

log was used calculate big numbers before calculators

log is a re-arranged way to show a number with an exponent

example

log₂ 16 = 4 means 2^4 = 16

logx(Z) = y means x^y=Z

log(x-6)/log(2) + log(x)/log(2) = 4

(log(x-6)+ log(x))/log(2) = 4

(log(x-6)+ log(x)) = 4log(2)

(log(x-6)x) = log(16)

x=8

Which are correct representation of the inequality minus 32X -5 less than 52 minus X select two options
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The value of X is more than equal to -1.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the correct representation of the inequality 'minus 32X -5 less than 52 minus X'

LHS of the inequality will be : -32x-5

RHS of the inequality will be : (52-X)

So,

-32X-5\leq 52-X

Adding X both sides

-32X-5+X\leq 52-X+X\\\\-31X-5\leq 52

Adding 5 to both sides,

-31X-5+5\leq 52+5\\\\-31X\leq 57

Dividing both sides by -31.

X\geq \dfrac{-57}{31}\\\\X\geq  -1.83

So, the value of X is more than equal to -1.83.
