Answer:
x ≅ 20.10 torr
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the equation which models blood pH in the question is;
pH(x)=6.1+log(800/x)
where;
pH = 7.7
x = partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood, measured in torr.
we are asked to find (x)
In order to do that, we use the given equation:
pH(x)=6.1+log(800/x)
since pH = 7.7
7.7 = 6.1 + log (800/x)
7.7 - 6.1 = log (800/x)
1.6 = log (800/x)
x = 20.09509145
x ≅ 20.10 torr
2 ways: Easy and hard
Hard=A
Easy=B
A: 1/2x+4 work from there so we do fun stuff with it make something that can be simplified so 1/2x+4 times (2/2)=x+8 now square the whole thing and put the result in a square root thingie (x+8)^2=x^2+16x+64
multiply the whole thing by 4/4 and put ![\sqrt{16} [\tex] on top so then [tex] \sqrt{x^2+16x+64}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B16%7D%20%5B%5Ctex%5D%20on%20top%20so%20then%20%0A%5Btex%5D%20%5Csqrt%7Bx%5E2%2B16x%2B64%7D%20)
times 
=
=
to solve it, factor out the 16 in the square root and then square root 16 to get 4
then it will be (4 times square root of equation)/4=square root of equatio
factor square root of equation and square root it and get x+8
divide by 2 to get 1/2x+4
B: 1/2x+4
put stuff that cancels out
1/2x+3x-3x+4+56-56
move them around
3 and 1/2x-3x+60-56
or
2x-3x+1 and 1/2x+30-20+30-36
then just add like terms to solve
