Answer:

11.95 g / 6 hours  

Step-by-step explanation:

drug dosage = 460 mg per kg per day

to be administered every 6 hours to a person who weighs 229 pounds

1 pound = 0.453592 kg

229 pounds = 229 × 1 pound = 229 × 0.453592 kg = 103.873 kg

dosage of drug needed for 103.873 kg

460 mg is to 1 kg per day

103.873 kg = 103.873 × 460 mg per 1 kg per day = 47781.58 mg per 103.873 kg per day

number of 6 hours in a day = 24 hours ÷ 6 hours = 4 times per day

dosage needed per 6 hours

47781.58 ÷ 4 = 11945.395 mg for every 6 hours = 11.95 g / 6 hours

<h2>○=> <u>Correct option</u> :</h2>

\color{plum} \bold{ \tt \:  \bold{C.  \$20,652.00}}

<h3>○=> <u>Steps to derive correct option</u> :</h3>

Selling price of a car = $19,000

Percentage of sales tax in the city = 8.3%

Sales tax :

= \tt  \frac{8.3}{10 \times 100}  \times 1900

= \tt  \frac{8.3 \times 19000}{1000}

= \tt  \frac{1577000}{1000}

\color{plum} = \tt  \$1577

Thus, the sales tax on the car = $1577

Cost of license and title = $75

Total price of car :

= Cost price of car + Sales tax + cost of license/title

=  \tt19000 + 1577 + 75

\color{plum} = \tt  \$20652

Thus, the total purchase price of the car = $20,652.00

Therefore, the correct option is <em>(C) $20,652.00</em>

7-2x=1-5x+2. Algebra
iragen [17]
7-2x= 1-5x+2

Combine like terms
7-2x= 3-5x

Add 5x to both sides
7+3x= 3

Subtract both sides by 7
3x= -4

Divide both sides by 3
x= -4/3

Final answer: -4/3

Use the upper and lower sums to approximate the area of the region using the given number of subintervals (of equal width)
Mashutka [201]
From the figure shown, the interval is divided into 5 equal parts making each subinterval to be 0.2.

Part A:

y= \sqrt{1-x^2}

The approximate the area of the region shown in the figure using the lower sums is given by:

 Area= [y(0.2)\times0.2]+[y(0.4)\times0.2]+[y(0.6)\times0.2]+[y(0.8)\times0.2] \\ +[y(1)\times0.2] \\  \\ =[\sqrt{1-(0.2)^2}\times0.2]+[\sqrt{1-(0.4)^2}\times0.2]+[\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}\times0.2] \\ +[\sqrt{1-(0.8)^2}\times0.2]+[\sqrt{1-(1)^2}\times0.2] \\  \\ =(0.9798\times0.2)+(0.9165\times0.2)+(0.8\times0.2)+(0.6\times0.2)+(0\times0.2) \\  \\ =0.196+0.183+0.16+0.12=0.659



Part B:

The approximate the area of the region shown in the figure using the lower sums is given by:

 Area= [y(0)\times0.2]+[y(0.2)\times0.2]+[y(0.4)\times0.2]+[y(0.6)\times0.2] \\ +[y(0.8)\times0.2] \\ \\ =[\sqrt{1-(0)^2}\times0.2]+[\sqrt{1-(0.2)^2}\times0.2]+[\sqrt{1-(0.4)^2}\times0.2] \\ +[\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}\times0.2] +[\sqrt{1-(0.8)^2}\times0.2] \\ \\ =(1\times0.2)+(0.9798\times0.2)+(0.9165\times0.2)+(0.8\times0.2)+(0.6\times0.2) \\ \\ =0.2+0.196+0.183+0.16+0.12=0.859



Part C:

The approximate area of the given region is given by

Area= \frac{0.659+0.859}{2} = \frac{1.518}{2} =0.759
