Answer:

-2.27

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = -32 - 5

3x = - 37

x = - 12.333333333

x = 5 y - 1

substitute x value

- 12.333333 + 1 = 5 y

- 11 .333333 = 5y

- 11.333333 divided by 5 = - 2.27

Two vertices of a polygon are ( 7, -18) and (7, 18). What is the length of this side of the polygon?

Scilla [17]

Because the two vertices have the same x-coordinate, the side is a vertical line. It starts vertically from -18 to 18

the length = 18 - (-18)
the length = 18 + 18
the length = 36

The length of the side is 36 unit

After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is modelled by the function C(t)=8(e

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

the maximum concentration of the antibiotic during the first 12 hours is 1.185 $\mu g/mL$ at t= 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is modeled by the function where the time t is measured in hours and C is measured in $\mu g/mL$

$C(t) = 8(e^{(-0.4t)}-e^{(-0.6t)})$

Thus, we are given the time interval [0,12] for t.

We can apply the first derivative test, to know the absolute maximum value because we have a closed interval for t.
The first derivative test focusing on a particular point. If the function switches or changes from increasing to decreasing at the point, then the function will achieve a highest value at that point.

First, we differentiate C(t) with respect to t, to get,

$\frac{d(C(t))}{dt} = 8(-0.4e^{(-0.4t)}+ 0.6e^{(-0.6t)})$

Equating the first derivative to zero, we get,

$\frac{d(C(t))}{dt} = 0\\\\8(-0.4e^{(-0.4t)}+ 0.6e^{(-0.6t)}) = 0$

Solving, we get,

$8(-0.4e^{(-0.4t)}+ 0.6e^{(-0.6t)}) = 0\\\displaystyle\frac{e^{-0.4}}{e^{-0.6}} = \frac{0.6}{0.4}\\\\e^{0.2t} = 1.5\\\\t = \frac{ln(1.5)}{0.2}\\\\t \approx 2$
