According to a formula widely used by doctors to determine drug dosages, a person's body surface area (BSA) (in meters squared)

is given by the formula BSA = hw /60, where h is the height in centimeters and w the weight in kilograms. What is the rate of change of BSA with respect to weight for h = 184 and w = 83?

BSA = hw ÷ 60

We have:
h = 184
w = 83

BSA = (184)(83) ÷ 60
BSA = 15272 ÷ 60
BSA = 254.5 (Rounded to one decimal place)

Quadrilateral WXYZ has vertices W(-4,-3), X(0,-1). Y(6,-2), Z(2,-4). Using properties of diagonals prove that WXYZ is a parallel
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The diagonals are bisectors of each other and meet at  (1, -5/2) but are not congruent, so WXYZ is a parallelogram and not a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

for parallelograms.

the diagonals intersect at the midpoints

W                             X

Z                             Y

Diagonals are  WY  and  XZ

WY :   (-4, -3) to  (6, -2)

midpoint is   [(-4 + 6)/2  ,  (-3 - 2)/2 ] = ( 1, -5/2 )

XZ :   (0, -1)  to  (2, -4)

midpoint is  [ (0 + 2)/2 ,  (-1 + -4)/2 ]  = (1, -5/2)

The diagonals are bisectors of eachother.

Next show that these diagonals are not congruent.

length of  WY  =  root (  (-4 - 6)^2  +  (-3 - (-2))^2 )

WY = root ( 100  +  1)

WY = root(101)

length of XZ  =  root (  (0 - 2)^2  +  ( -1 - -4)^2 )

XZ =  root (4  +  9) = root (13)

we see that  WY  is not equal to XZ

...

so  ..  quadrilateral WXYZ is a parallelogram but not a rectangle.

1. The beginning steps for determining the center and radius of a circle using the completing the square method are shown below:
svet-max [94.6K]

(1) Answer : (x^2 - 6x + 9) + (y^2- 4y + 4) = 3 + (9 + 4)

Step 1: x^2 - 6x + y^2 - 4y = 3

Step 2: (x^2- 6x) + (y^2 - 4y) = 3

In completing the square method we take coefficient of x and divide by 2 and the square it . Then add it on both sides

The coefficient of x is -6. \frac{-6}{2} = (-3)^2 = 9

The coefficient of y is -4. \frac{-4}{2} = (-2)^2 = 4

Step : (x^2- 6x + 9) + (y^2 - 4y + 4) = 3 +9 + 4

(2) x^2 +  y^2 +  6x - 6y + 2 = 0

To find center and radius we write the equation in the form of

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 using completing the square form

Where (h,k) is the center and 'r' is the radius

x^2 +  y^2 +  6x - 6y + 2 = 0

(x^2 +  6x) +  (y^2  - 6y) + 2 = 0

In completing the square method we take coefficient of x and divide by 2 and the square it . Then add it on both sides

(x^2 +  6x + 9) +  (y^2  - 6y + 9)  = -2 + 9 + 9

(x + 3)^2 +  (x - 3)^2 = 16

Here h= -3 and k=3 and r^2 = 16 so r= 4

Center is (-3,3) and radius = 4

(c) Step 1: x^2 + 8x + y^2 -  6y = 11

Step 2: (x^2 + 8x) + (y^2 -  6y) = 11

Step 3: (x^2 + 8x + 16) + (y^2 - 6y + 9) = 11 + (16 + 9)

Step 4: (x^2 + 8x + 16) + (y^2 - 6y + 9) = 36

We factor out each quadratic

(x^2 + 8x + 16) = (x+4)(x+4) = (x+4)^2

((y^2 - 6y + 9)) = (x-3)(x-3) = (x-3)^2

Step 5 :(x + 4)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 6^2
