<h3>Answer: g = 2</h3>

================================================

Work Shown:

a \bowtie b = a + \sqrt{b+\sqrt{b+\sqrt{b+...}}}\\\\7 \bowtie g = 7 + \sqrt{g+\sqrt{g+\sqrt{g+...}}} = 9\\\\\sqrt{g+\sqrt{g+\sqrt{g+...}}} = 2

After subtracting 7 from both sides.

Note how because we have an infinite sequence of nested radicals, we can let x = \sqrt{g+\sqrt{g+...}} which means x is equal to 2 as well.

This lets us say

\sqrt{g+\sqrt{g+\sqrt{g+...}}} = \sqrt{g+x} = x

Solve the equation \sqrt{g+x}= x for x to get

\sqrt{g+x} = x\\\\g+x = x^2\\\\x^2-x-g = 0\\\\x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-g)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{1\pm\sqrt{1+4g}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{1+\sqrt{1+4g}}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{1-\sqrt{1+4g}}{2}

Since x is positive, this means we only focus on the first equation in the last line above.

Earlier we let x be equal to the infinite nested radicals involving g, but x is also equal to 2. So plug in x = 2 and use that to find g.

x = \frac{1+\sqrt{1+4g}}{2}\\\\2 = \frac{1+\sqrt{1+4g}}{2}\\\\4 = 1+\sqrt{1+4g}\\\\3 = \sqrt{1+4g}\\\\9 = 1+4g\\\\1+4g = 9\\\\4g = 8\\\\g = 2\\\\

As a check, we can do the following

7 + \sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 8.84775906502258\\\\7 + \sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}} \approx 8.96157056080647\\\\7 + \sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}} \approx 8.9903694533444\\\\

we're slowly approaching 9

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

1 tablet

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The dose of the Uniphyl = 5 mg/kg

Strength of the Uniphyl = 400 mg per tablet

Weight of the patient = 76 kg

Now,

The recommended dose for the patient            

= Dose of the Uniphyl × weight of the patient

= 5 mg/kg × 76 kg

= 380 mg

Therefore,

The number of tablets to be administered to the patient

= \frac{\textup{Recommended dose for the patient}}{\textup{Strength of the Uniphyl}}

= \frac{\textup{380}}{\textup{400}}

= 0.95 ≈ 1 tablet

Hence,

The number of tablets to be administered to the patient is 1

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
A.
7 times number of cats=pay
if pay=49 then
7 times number of cats=49
divide both sides by 7
number of cats=7

da equaton can be
c=number of cats
7c=49

he fed 7 cats


B.

7c=49
divide both sides by 7
equality property of division
(7c)/7=49/7
math fact
(7/7)c=7
1c=7
