A veterinarian knows that a 50-pound dog gets 0.5 milligram of a certain medicine, and that the number of milligrams, m, varies

directly with the weight of the dog, w. The vet uses these steps to find the amount of medicine to give a 10-pound dog. Step 1 Find the constant of variation. k = StartFraction 0.5 Over 50 EndFraction = 0.01 Step 2 Write the direct variation equation. m = 0.01 w Step 3 Substitute 10 into the equation to find the dosage for a 10-pound dog. 10 = 0.01 w Step 4 Solve for w. 10 = 0.01 w. W = 1000. The 10-pound dog needs 1000 milligrams. In which step did the veterinarian make the first error? Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Answer:the veterinarian made the first error in step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of milligrams, m, varies directly with the weight of the dog, w.

Assuming constant of variation is k, then,

m = kw

k = m/w = 0.5/50 = 0.01

Therefore,

m = 0.01w

In step 3, Substituting 10 into the equation to find the dosage for a 10-pound dog like 10 = 0.01w was error.

The correct step is

m = 0.01 × 10

m = 0.1 milligrams

Tamara says she used the GCF to factor the expression 21x + 56xy as 7(3x + 8xy). Is she correct? Explain.
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

•21x=3·7·x;

•56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.

Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.

Thus,

21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).

Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Answer:

58 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the area of the square. To do so, we need to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle because this coincides with the side length of the square.

We use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that for a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Here, a = 7 and b = 3, so:

7^2 + 3^2 = c^2

c^2 = 49 + 9 = 58

Now, the area of a square is: A = s^2, where s is the side length. Well, c is the side length, and we've already found what c^2 is (it's 58), so that means the area of the square is 58 units squared.

Thus, the answer is 58 units squared.
