Answer:

985.15mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours

First step is to calculate the weight in kg

255 lbs = 255/2.2 = 115.9 kg

Second step is multiply mg/kg in order to get total medicine per day

Dose per day=115.9kg × 17 mg

Dose per day= 1,970.3

Third step is to calculate how many milligrams of the drug should he receive by dividing the day dose by 2

Dose milligrams=1,970.3/2

Dose milligrams=985.15mg

Therefore how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours will be 985.15mg

alex41 [277]

Answer:

x = 16

y = 16√3

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(30 degrees) = 1/2

x = 32/2 = 16

cos(30 degrees) = √3/2

y = 16√3

What is the value of x which proves that the runways are parallel? What is the measure of the larger angle?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

118°

Step-by-step explanation:

When two parallel lines are cut by a tranversal, then the exterior angles are supplimentary and the corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore the angle above (15x - 17)° is also (5x + 17)° and the angle below (5x + 17)° is also (15x - 17)°.

Angles on a straight line adds up to 180°. So to know the measure of the larger angle we must both equations and equal it to 180° to find x in order to know the larger angle.

(5x + 17) + (15x - 17) = 180

5x + 15x + 17 - 17 = 180

20x = 180

20x/20 = 180/20

x = 9°

Nkw let's substitute x = 9 into the equations

5x + 17 =

5(9) + 17 =

= 62°

15x - 17 =

15(9) - 17 =

= 118°

Both equations should add up to be 180°.

Therefore the measure of the largest angle is 118°.

How do you do this question?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3 + 8x^(³/₂), 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

dy/dx = 12√x

Arc length is:

s = ∫ ds

s = ∫₀¹ √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx

s = ∫₀¹ √(1 + (12√x)²) dx

s = ∫₀¹ √(1 + 144x) dx

If u = 1 + 144x, then du = 144 dx.

s = 1/144 ∫ √u du

s = 1/144 (⅔ u^(³/₂))

s = 1/216 u^(³/₂)

Substitute back:

s = 1/216 (1 + 144x)^(³/₂)

Evaluate between x=0 and x=1.

s = [1/216 (1 + 144)^(³/₂)] − [1/216 (1 + 0)^(³/₂)]

s = 1/216 (145)^(³/₂) − 1/216

s = (145√145 − 1) / 216
