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.

The rectangular prism shown has a surface area of 488 square inches. What is the length of the prism?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

length of the prism = 244 - (width x height) / width + height)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be a and width be b and height be c

2 (a * b) + 2 (b* c) + 2 (a * c) = 488

2ab+ 2bc + 2ac = 488

ab + bc + ac = 244

ab + ac = 244 - ac

a (b + c) = 244-ac

a = 244-bc / b + c

Therefore the length of the prism = 244 - (width x height) / width + height)

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-4,10) and a directrix of y=-4 write the equation of the parabola in any form
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

(x+4)^2=28(y-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix of the parabola is the horizontal line with the eqaution y=-4. The focus of the parabola is at point (-4,10), than the axis of symmetry of the parabola is the perpendicular line to the directrix passing through the focus. Its equation is x=-4

The distance between the directrix and the focus is |10-(-4)|=14, so p=14 and the vertex is at point \left(-4,10-\dfrac{14}{2}\right)\rightarrow (-4,3)

Parabola goes in positive y-direction, hence its equation  is

(x-x_0)^2=2p(y-y_0),

where (x_0,y_0) is the vertex, so the equation of this parabola is

(x+4)^2=28(y-3)

Which equations below represent lines that are perpendicular to the line that contains (1, -2) and (3, 4)? (CHECK PICS FOR ANSWE
Gala2k [10]

First, let's find the slope of the line from the points given.

m = (4 - - 2) / (3 - 1)

m = 6 / 2

m = 3

Secondly, we know that a line perpendicular to the original must have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original. For the given points, the opposite reciprocal slope would be -1/3.

Now, we can put all of the equations below into slope intercept form and find the ones that have a slope of -1/3.

Equation 1: Correct

y = -1/3x - 5

Equation 2: Incorrect

y = 3x - 3

Equation 3: Incorrect

y - 2 = 3(x + 1)

y - 2 = 3x + 1

y = 3x + 2

Equation 4: Correct

x + 3y = 9

3y = -x + 9

y = -1/3x + 3

Equation 5: Incorrect

3x + y = -5

y = -3x - 5

Hope this helps!! :)
