Completing the sqaure <br> x^2+14x+34

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

-7-√15

Step-by-step explanation:

First move the constant to the right hand side and change it's sign

x^2+14x=-34

Then add (14/2)^2 or 7^2 to both sides

x^2+14x+49=-34+49

Then factor the expression

(x+7)^2=-34+49

Then solve (x+7)^2=15

You should get:

x=-√15-7

or

x=√15-7

A 4.5 kg cat requires medication at a dose rate of 5 mg/kg once daily for the next 7 days. The tablets are available in 10 mg st

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

<u>Approximately 16 tablets of medicine</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information above , we can use a <u>Rule of Three</u> to first figure out how many mg the cat would need to ingest per day.

$\frac{5mg}{1kg} = \frac{x}{4.5kg}$

$\frac{5mg*4.5kg}{1kg} = 22.5mg$

Now we see that the cat needs to take a daily dose of 22.5mg. Since the Tablets come at a strength of 10 mg per tablet then,

$22.5 / 10 = 2.25$

The cat would need to take 2.25 tablets per day. Since she needs to take the dose for the next 7 days then,

$2.25 * 7 = 15.75$

She would need to take<u> approximately 16 tablets of medicine</u> during the week .

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

During the winter months, there is a decrease of between 10 and 30 percent in business at a certain restaurant. Which of the fol

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

d. 94

Step-by-step explanation:

If business decreases 10%, it is 100% - 10% = 90% of normal.

If business decreases 30%, it is 100% -30% = 70% of normal.

if business is 94% of normal, it is not between these values, so is not a winter business statistic.
