Answer:

  169 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of medicine quantity to body weight is the same for both patients, so ...

  amount/(156 lb) = (143 mg)/(132 lb)

Multiply by 156 lb:

  amount = (143 mg)(156/132) = 169 mg

The patient requires 169 mg of medicine.

X+4 divided by x^2+16<br><br> Why can't it be simplified?
KonstantinChe [14]
Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:

x^2 + 16 = 0

x^2 = -16

The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.

Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:

±√-16 = ±4i

Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:

(x + 4i)(x - 4i)

If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.
