The top of the ladder is 27.5ft above the
ground.
^ 3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder makes an angle, 0 with the
ground thus forming a right angle triangle
with the wall of the house.
The length of the ladder represents the
hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
The ground distance from the base of the
wall to the foot of the ladder represents the
adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
Therefore, to determine how high up is the
top of the ladder on the wall, ×, we would
apply Pythagoras theorem which is
expressed as
Hypotenuse?
2= opposite side? + adjacent
side?
282=×2+52
784 =×2 + 25
x2 = 784 - 25 = 759

Answer: 480 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using direct proportion whereby y = kx

where,

x = patient's weight = 92 pounds

k = constant

y = milligrams of antibiotics = 320

Using y = kx

320 = 92k

k = 320/92

k = 3.4782609

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds will be:

y = kx

y = 3.4782609 × 138

y = 480 milligrams

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds is 480 milligrams.

(16x^1/6y^-2)^3/2 / (x^-1/6y^6)^3/2

=(4^2)^3/2 (x^1/6)^3/2 (y^-2)^3/2 / (x^-1/6)^3/2(y^6)^3/2
= 4^3   x^1/4 y^-3  / x^-1/4 y ^9
= 64 x^(1/4 +1/4) y^(-3-9)
= 64 x^1/2 y^-12
= 64 x^1/2 / y^12

answer is D.64 x^1/2 / y^12
