The daily dose for a patient that weighs 170 pounds is 510 milligrams.

60 milligrams/ 20 pounds = x milligrams/ 170 pounds cross multiply

10200= 20x divide by 20 on both sides

x= 510 milligrams

you would have to do 170/20 which equals 8.5 multiply that by 8

so his daily does would be 510 milligrams

A city's population increases by 5% every year. If its population today is 300,000, write a function that models the population
ratelena [41]

Answer:

f(x) = 300,000(1.05)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the exponential growth equation:

f(x) = a(1 + r)^x

Plug in 300,000 as a, since it is the original population:

f(x) = 300,000(1 + r)^x

The city's population is growing at 5% each year, so plug in 0.05 as r:

f(x) = 300,000(1 + 0.05)^x

f(x) = 300,000(1.05)^x

So, the function for the population growth is f(x) = 300,000(1.05)^x

What is the median and mode
viktelen [127]
Median is the middle number

60, 60, 65, 70, 70, 85, 90

70 is your median

mode is the number(s) that show up the most
60 and 70 is your mode, since they show up twice (one more than the others)

Range is largest number minus the smallest
90 - 60 = 30, 30 is your range

Mean is all the numbers added together divided by the number of numbers there are 
60 + 90 + 65 + 70 + 70 + 85 + 60 = 500
500/7 = 71.42
Mean = 71.42

hope this helps
