Answer:

164.6 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of the patient= 120 lbs

Height of patient = 5'8" = 5 × 12 + 8 = 68 inches

Dose of Taxol to be administered= 100 mg/ m²

Now,

the surface area of the body of patient = \textup{(Weight in kg)}^{0.425}\times\textup{(Height in cms)}^{0.725}\times0.007184

Also,

weight of patient in kg = 120 × 0.454 = 54.48 kg

Height of patient in cm = 68" × 2.54 = 172.72 cm

therefore,

Body surface area = \textup{(54.48)}^{0.425}\times\textup{(172.72)}^{0.725}\times0.007184

or

= 5.47 × 41.89 × 0.007184

or

= 1.646 m²

Hence,  

Dose of Taxol to be received by the patient

= 100 mg/m²  × surface area of the patient

= 100 × 1.646

= 164.6 mg

What is the equation of the line that contains point(3, -2) and has a slope of 5?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

y = 5x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c

m = the gradient/slope = 5

y = 5x + c

Substitute (3, -2) into the equation above to find c.

-2 = 5(3) + c

-2 = 15 + c

-2 - 15 = c

-17 = c

y = 5x - 17
