Answer:
-6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of DE is ...
(change in y)/(change in x) = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (-3-4)/(1-7) = -7/-6 = 7/6
The slope of the line perpendicular to DE is the negative reciprocal of this:
perpendicular slope = -1/slope = -1/(7/6) = -6/7
___
Answer:
1.925mg of levonorgestrel and 0.68mg of ethinyl estradiol are taken during the 28-day period.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total milligrams of levonorgestrel is:
In which and
are the number of miligrams of levonorgestrel taken in each phase.
The total milligrams of ethinyl estradiol is:
In which and
are the number of miligrams of ethinyl estradiol taken in each phase.
We can solve this by phase.
Phase 1: 6 tablets, each containing 0.050 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.030 mg ethinyl estradiol
In this phase,
of levonorgestrel and
of ethinyl estradiol are taken.
So and
Phase 2: 5 tablets, each containing 0.075 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.040 mg ethinyl estradiol
In this phase,
of levonorgestrel and
of ethinyl estradiol are taken.
So and
Phase 3: 10 tablets, each containing 0.125 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.030 mg ethinyl estradiol
In this phase,
of levonorgestrel and
of ethinyl estradiol are taken.
So and
The total milligrams of levonorgestrel is:
The total milligrams of ethinyl estradiol is:
1.925mg of levonorgestrel and 0.68mg of ethinyl estradiol are taken during the 28-day period.
