Answer:
B) (35, 260)
Step-by-step explanation:
A veterinarian will prescribe an antibiotic to a dog based on its weight. The effective dosage of the antibiotic is given by d ≥ 1∕5w2, where d is dosage in milligrams and w is the dog's weight in pounds. Which of the following ordered pairs gives an effective dosage of antibiotics for a 35-pound dog?
A) (35, 240)
B) (35, 260)
C) (260, 35)
D) (240, 35)
Ordered pairs is composed of pairs, usually an x coordinate and a y coordinate. It refers to a location of a point on the coordinate. It matches numbers to functions or relations.
Given the relation between d is dosage in milligrams and w is the dog's weight in pounds as d ≥ 1∕5w²
For a 35 pound dog (i.e w = 35 pound). The dosage is given as:
d ≥ 1∕5(35)² ≥ 245 milligrams.
For an ordered pair (x, y), x is the independent variable (input) and y is the dependent variable (output).
The dog weight is the independent variable and the dosage is the dependent variable.
From the ordered pairs, the best option is (35, 260) because 260 ≥ 240
Answer:
B. 138.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the given number where the variable is and do the arithmetic.
h(x) = 5.7 -19x
h(-7) = 5.7 -19(-7) = 5.7 +133 = 138.7
In order to solve a proportion you need to cross multiply, so you would do:
4x20 and 9xX and you would get...
9x=80
then divide by nine to get
x=8.8888888889
which is technically 8.9
