An hourglass is turned over with the top part filled with
sand. after 3 minutes, there are 855 ml of sand in the top half. after 10
minutes, there are 750 ml of sand in the top half. This can be represents a two
points ( 3, 855) and (10, 750) . using this to solve the slope m =
(750-855)/(10-3) = -15. And using one point the equation is y = -15x + 900.
4x = y
2x^2 - y = 0
2x^2 - 4x = 0
2x(x - 2) = 0
2x = 0 or x - 2 = 0
x = 0 or x = 2
y = 4(0) or y = 4(2)
y = 0 or y = 8
Therefore, solution set is {(0, 0), (2, 8)}
Answer:
The patient would receive 1.05mg of the drug weekly.
Step-by-step explanation:
First step: How many mcg of the drug would the patient receive daily?
The problem states that he takes three doses of 50-mcg a day. So
1 dose - 50mcg
3 doses - x mcg
x = 50*3
x = 150 mcg.
He takes 150mcg of the drug a day.
Second step: How many mcg of the drug would the patient receive weekly?
A week has 7 days. He takes 150mcg of the drug a day. So:
1 day - 150mcg
7 days - x mcg
x = 150*7
x = 1050mcg
He takes 1050mcg of the drug a week.
Final step: Conversion of 1050 mcg to mg
Each mg has 1000 mcg. How many mg are there in 1050 mcg? So
1mg - 1000 mcg
xmg - 1050mcg
1000x = 1050

x = 1.05mg
The patient would receive 1.05mg of the drug weekly.
The highlighted part of the triangle is an angle. It is on the inside of the triangle and formed by two sides coming together.
Hope this helps! :)
