One of the formulas for calculating the correct dosage for a child is as follows: C= a/((a+12)) ∙ 180 C = child’s dosage in mill

igrams a = age of the child A = adult dosage in milligrams What is the prescribed dosage of a certain medicine for a child 6 years old, if the adult dosage of the medicine is 180 milligrams?

So you already have the formula for calculating the dosage for child with: C = a/(a+12)x 180 ml Not sure why you have double brackets

variables are: a = child's age, so everywhere you have an "a" replace it with the age of child.

Example: 5 year old child

C = 5/(5+12)*180= 5/(17)*180 = 5/3060 = .0016 ml or milligrams

Mathematical induction, prove the following two statements are true
adelina 88 [10]
Prove:
1+2\left(\frac12\right)+3\left(\frac12\right)^{2}+...+n\left(\frac12\right)^{n-1}=4-\dfrac{n+2}{2^{n-1}}
____________________________________________

Base Step: For n=1:
n\left(\frac12\right)^{n-1}=1\left(\frac12\right)^{0}=1
and
4-\dfrac{n+2}{2^{n-1}}=4-3=1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Induction Hypothesis: Assume true for n=k. Meaning:
1+2\left(\frac12\right)+3\left(\frac12\right)^{2}+...+k\left(\frac12\right)^{k-1}=4-\dfrac{k+2}{2^{k-1}}
assumed to be true.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Induction Step: For n=k+1:
1+2\left(\frac12\right)+3\left(\frac12\right)^{2}+...+k\left(\frac12\right)^{k-1}+(k+1)\left(\frac12\right)^{k}

by our Induction Hypothesis, we can replace every term in this summation (except the last term) with the right hand side of our assumption.
=4-\dfrac{k+2}{2^{k-1}}+(k+1)\left(\frac12\right)^{k}

From here, think about what you are trying to end up with.
For n=k+1, we WANT the formula to look like this:
1+2\left(\frac12\right)+...+k\left(\frac12\right)^{k-1}+(k+1)\left(\frac12\right)^{k}=4-\dfrac{(k+1)+2}{2^{(k+1)-1}}

That thing on the right hand side is what we're trying to end up with. So we need to do some clever Algebra.

Combine the (k+1) and 1/2, put the 2 in the bottom,
=4-\dfrac{k+2}{2^{k-1}}+\dfrac{(k+1)}{2^{k}}

We want to end up with a 2^k as our final denominator, so our middle term is missing a power of 2. Let's multiply top and bottom by 2,
=4+\dfrac{-2(k+2)}{2^{k}}+\dfrac{(k+1)}{2^{k}}

Distribute the -2 and combine the fractions together,
=4+\dfrac{-2k-4+(k+1)}{2^{k}}

Combine like-terms,
=4+\dfrac{-k-3}{2^{k}}

pull the negative back out,
=4-\dfrac{k+3}{2^{k}}

And ta-da! We've done it!
We can break apart the +3 into +1 and +2,
and the +0 in the bottom can be written as -1 and +1,
=4-\dfrac{(k+1)+2}{2^{(k-1)+1}}

Heeeelp I need a quick answer w/explanation
Ket [755]

Answer:

The answer is: -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note when x = -2 that the line passes through the point (-2, -2) so when x = -2 then y also = -2.

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Top down, left to right, the sums are ...

1/3 +3/6 = 2/6 +3/6 = 5/6 . . . pink

1 1/5 + 1 2/10 = 1 1/5 + 1 1/5 = (1 +1) +(1/5 +1/5) = 2 2/5 . . . green

2 2/6 +1 2/8 = 2 1/3 +1 1/4 = (2 +1) +(4/12 +3/12) = 3 7/12 . . . violet

1/7 +2/3 = 3/21 +14/21 = 17/21 . . . yellow

2 3/4 +2/6 = 2 9/12 +4/12 = 2 13/12 = 3 1/12 . . . brown
