Answer:

Yes, the doctor's order within the desired range

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dosage of Rocephin ordered = 200 mg

Mass of the infant = 15.4 lb

1 lb = 0.453592 kg

thus,

15.4 lb = 0.453  × 15.4 = 6.97 kg

Dosage is provided every 8 hours

thus,

Number of dosage per day = \frac{\textup{24 hours}}{\textup{8}} = 3

Hence,

the total dosage ordered per day = 200 × 3 = 600 mg

Dosage ordered per kg of infant per day = \frac{\textup{600}}{\textup{6.97}}

or

Dosage ordered per kg of infant per day = 86.083 mg/kg per day

Yes, the doctor's order within the desired range

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The second choice down is the one you want.  I'm not sure why you're confused if you simply have to graph the 2 functions to see on your calculator where they intersect.  Unless you don't know how to access the change of base function in a TI84...

Hit "alpha" then "window" and 5 will open up the option to enter a base on a log.

Jasmine and Scott want to chart their reading rates to see how much they improve each quarter. Below are the results of their fi
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

a) 120 words per minute

b) 130 words per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate (also called a single-unit rate) is a type of ratio that compares 1 unit of one quantity to a different number of units of a another different quantity. When expressing in unit rate, the second quantity is in one unit.

a) Jasmine can read 120 words per minute

Jasmine reading unit rate = total number of words read / time taken

Jasmine reading unit rate = 120 words / 1 minute = 120 words per minute

b) It takes Scott one minute to read 130 words

Scott reading unit rate = total number of words read / time taken

Scott reading unit rate = 130 words / 1 minute = 130 words per minute

Which is the correct way to represent 0.0035 kg by using scientific notation? –3.5 103 kg –3.5 10–3 kg 3.5 10–3 kg 3.5 103 kg?
Vlada [557]
It would be

3.5 × 10⁻³ kg.

The decimal point must be moved 3 places to the right in order to have it behind the first non-zero digit; this gives us the exponent of 3, and since we are moving the decimal to the right, it is a negative exponent.

Dan's school is selling tickets to a play. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Let's define the variables:

A = price of one adult ticket.

S = price of one student ticket.

We know that:

"On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69."

1*A + 6*S = $69

"The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets"

7*A + 7*S = $150

Then we have a system of equations:

A + 6*S = $69

7*A + 7*S = $150.

To solve this, we should start by isolating one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate A in the first equation:

A = $69 - 6*S

Now let's replace this in the other equation:

7*($69 - 6*S) + 7*S = $150

Now we can solve this for S.

$483 - 42*S + 7*S = $150

$483 - 35*S = $150

$483 - $150 = 35*S

$333 = 35*S

$333/35 = S

$9.51 = S

That we could round to $9.50

That is the price of one student ticket.
