To control an infection, a doctor recommends that a patient who weighs 92 pounds be given 320 milligrams of antibiotic. If the a

ntibiotic is given proportionally according to the patient's weight, how much antibiotic should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds? 400 milligrams 480 milligrams 550 milligrams 600 milligrams

Answer: 480 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using direct proportion whereby y = kx

where,

x = patient's weight = 92 pounds

k = constant

y = milligrams of antibiotics = 320

Using y = kx

320 = 92k

k = 320/92

k = 3.4782609

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds will be:

y = kx

y = 3.4782609 × 138

y = 480 milligrams

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds is 480 milligrams.

What situations would solve by graphing be your preferred choice? Give an example.
Damm [24]

Answer:

1) The solve by graphing will the preferred choice when the equation is complex to be easily solved by the other means

Example;

y = x⁵ + 4·x⁴ + 3·x³ + 2·x² + x + 3

2) Solving by substitution is suitable where we have two or more variables in two or more (equal number) of equations

2x + 6y = 16

x + y = 6

We can substitute the value of x = 6 - y, into the first equation and solve from there

3) Solving an equation be Elimination, is suitable when there are two or more equations with coefficients of the form, 2·x + 6·y = 23 and x + y = 16

Multiplying the second equation by 2 and subtracting it from the first equation as follows

2·x + 6·y - 2×(x + y) = 23 - 2 × 16

2·x - 2·x + 6·y - 2·y = 23 - 32

0 + 4·y = -9

4) An example of a linear system that can be solved by all three methods is given as follows;

2·x + 6·y = 23

x + y = 16

Find all roots: x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0<br> Show all work and check your answer.
enot [183]

Answer:

x=0,x=-4,x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0

Factoring by x:

(x^2 + 7x + 12)x = 0

One of the root is x=0. Let's solve the parentheses.

Expanding the trinomial

x^2 + 4x+3x + 12=0

Factoring

x(x + 4)+3(x + 4)=0

Factoring

(x + 4)(x+3)=0

This will give us the two remaining roots

x=-4,x=-3
