Dwight was told by his mystic guru that a special medicine would help him gain superhuman strength to fight bears. The instructi

ons say “Take 2 drops per 10 pounds of body weight per day, in 4 doses a day.” Dwight weighs 180 lbs. There are approximately 20 drops in 1 mL. How many liters of the medicine should Dwight buy to have a supply for the next 5 years?

Answer:

Explanation:

1 dose = 2 drops * 180 / 10 = 36 drops /dose

4 doses = 4 * 36 = 144 drops / day.

144 drops * 365 = 52560 drops / year

52560 * 5 = 262800 drops / 5 years.

262800 / 20 = 13140 mL

13140 ml / 1000 = 13.140 L  for a 5 year supply.

We are still not quite finished. There must be at least 1 leap year and maybe 2.

1 leap year would add 0.144 Liters

2 leap years would add 0.288 liters

I'm not sure how to finish the problem. I am going to say that we should ignore the leap years and stick with the answer. 13.140 L for 5 years.

Interesting question.

The graph of x^2=-2+y+5cosy is shown for y=11
erik [133]

(a)

We have been given an equation x^{2}=-2+y+5cosy. Upon taking derivative of this equation with respect to x on both the sides, we get:

2x=0+\frac{dy}{dx}+5(-siny)\frac{dy}{dx}\\2x=(1-5siny)\frac{dy}{dx}\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{1-5siny}

(b)

In order to write the equation of tangent line, we need to find the slope of the line. We know that point (3,11) lies on the graph. Therefore, we write the slope of the tangent as:

\text{Slope}=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2(3)}{1-5sin(11)}=1

Therefore, equation of tangent line is:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\Rightarrow y-11=1(x-3)\\y-11=x-3\\y=x+8

(c)

We know that slope of tangent is given as \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{1-5siny}. The tangent will be vertical when denominator of slope is zero, that is:

1-5siny=0\Rightarrow siny=\frac{1}{5}\Rightarrow y=arcsin(\frac{1}{5})\\y=1.732,1.525, 3.063 \text{ etc.}

"As I watched, the sun broke weakly through, brightened the rich red of the fawns, and kindled their white spots." -- E. B. Whit
Vaselesa [24]

As I watched, the sun broke weakly through, brightened the rich red of the fawns, and kindled their white spots.” E.B. White, “Twins” Poems and Sketches Analysis: What kind of flames does kindled imply? How does this verb suit the purpose of the sentence? Kindled is the start of a gentle flame so in the sentence it applies that on the rich red of the fawn's coat, the white spots kindle a soft fire. The verb suits the purpose of the sentence because it’s purpose is to catch the fawns in the early morning. The gleam of the the fawns patches and correlates the fire to the budding deer. Kindled implies a friendly flame. The sentence expresses the fauns white glow. Would the sentence be strengthened or weakened by changing the

Which word, if it occurred in a true/false question, would give you a hint at the correct answer?
Anton [14]
Hey there

<span>The first step is to carefully read every single word of the question and answers,keeping in mind that the some small detail can affect the answer.

You should also pay great attention to negative words and prefixes. Words such as "un" can make your answer wrong if unread properly. If an event is "unlikely to happen," that means it is most likely an occurrence.</span>
