Answer:

  182 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the proportion for the required patient weight (w) as ...

  weight/medicine = w/(174.72 mg) = (150 lb)/(144 mg)

  w = (150 lb)(174.72/144) . . . . . multiply by 174.72 mg

  w ≈ 182 lb

The patient's weight is 182 pounds.

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (_5, 5) and a directrix of y = -1.
mars1129 [50]

Answer: Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

focus = (-5,5)

and a directrix y= -1

Since, equation of parabola in this case will be

(x-h)^2=4.a(y-k)

Now, here

y=k-a=-1\\\\\text { focus =(h,k+a)}\\\\\text{So,} k+a=5\\\\\text{ by solving these two equation , we get }\\\\a=3\text{ and } k=2

So equation will be

(x+5)^2=4\times 3(y-2)\\\\(x+5)^2=12(y-3)\\\\y=\frac{1}{12}(x+5)^2+2

So, option D is correct .

The answer is representativeness heuristic. This is used when making decisions about the likelihood of an occasion under doubt. It is unique of a group of heuristics (simple rules leading decision or decision-making) suggested by psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman in the 1970s.
