Based on this data the point representing percentage of students who drink and drive in 2001 will be (1, 17.5).

The point representing the data of 2011 will be (11, 10.3). 

We have two points. Using these two points we can find the equation of the line.

Slope of the line = \frac{10.3-17.5}{11-1} =-0.72

Using the point slope form of the line equation:

f(t) - 17.5 = -0.72 ( t - 1 ) \\  \\ 
f(t) = - 0.72t + 0.72 + 17.5 \\  \\ 
f(t) = -0.72t +18.22

The linear function given above gives the percentage of high school students who drink and drive in year t, where t = 0 corresponds to year 2000.

The total surface area of this cuboid is 112cm^2. Find the value of x.
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The value of x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us study the face of the cuboind

∵ The cuboid has 6 rectangular faces

∵ Each opposite faces area equal in areas

∴ 2 faces of dimensions 10 cm and 2 cm

∴ 2 faces of dimensions 10 cm and x cm

∴ 2 faces of dimensions 2 cm and x cm

∵ The total surface area of the cuboid is the sum of the areas of the 6 faces

∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width

∴ The total surface area = 2(10 × 2) + 2(10 × x) + 2(2 × x)

∴ The total surface area = 2(20) + 2(10x) + 2(2x)

∴ The total surface area = 40 + 20x + 4x

→ Add the like terms 20x and 4x

∴ The total surface area = 40 + 24x

∵ The total surface area of this cuboid is 112 cm²

→ Equate the two sides of the total surface area

∴ 40 + 24x = 112

→ Subtract 40 from both sides

∵ 40 - 40 + 24x = 112 - 40

∴ 24x = 72

→ Divide both sides by 24

∴ x = 3

∴ The value of x is 3

Answer:

  8 capsules

Step-by-step explanation:

The 100 mL of solution requires 4 capsules for its preparation. (4 × 150 mg = 600 mg). So, twice as much solution (200 mL) will require twice as many capsules. It will take 8 capsules to make 200 mL of solution.
