As infants grow from a toddler to a young adult, there may be times when they are ill and medication is needed. It is extremely important that medication be administered in the exact dose so the child receives the correct amount. Too little or too much medication could have serious side effects. A popular children’s fever medicine manufacturer recommends the following dosage information to parents and pediatricians.


Children’s Fever Medicine
(given every 4–6 hours, as needed)
Weight
24+ lbs
36+ lbs
48+ lbs
60+ lbs
72+ lbs
Dosage
5 mL
7.5 mL
10 mL
12.5 mL
15 mL



a) Evaluate the data and find the rate of change from one age group to the next. Explain how you found the rate of change. (2 points)



b) Is the relationship between weight and the amount of medicine linear? Explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Every weight range goes up 2.5mL

24+=5mL

+2.5 in the 36+=7.5mL

I am not sure the second answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Using function concepts, it is found that:

a) The rate of change is of 0.2083 ml/lb.

b) Since the rate of change is constant, the function is linear.

Item a:

The input is the weight.The output is the dosage.The rate of change is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input.

From the table, when the weight changes by 12 lbs, the dosage changes by 2.5 mL, hence:

[tex]r = \frac{2.5}{12} = 0.2083[/tex]

The rate of change is of 0.2083 ml/lb.

Item b:

Linear functions have constant rate of change, hence, since the rate of change is constant(0.2083 ml/lb), the function is linear.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-7+4x=9

4x=16

x=4

So if you rewrite the equation it’s like -1*(7-4x)
So you do -1*7 which is -7 and -1*-4x, which is 4x. So you then have -7+4x. Then you add 7 to both sides, getting 4x equals 16. You divide both by 4, making x=4

Aaron is considering getting his car a new paint job. Doing so will have a total cost of $264.83. Can Aaron afford this? Explain a. Yes, he can make the purchase and still have money left over. b. Yes, but doing so will clear out his account. c. No, purchasing that would overdraw his account. d. No, he is overdrawn already.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, but doing so will clear out his account.

Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Aaron's bank account has a balance of $1213.69 before he starts spending money. He makes the following transactions:

Transaction

Cost ($)

Car payment

260.16

Groceries

Aaron is considering getting his car a new paint job. Doing so will have a total cost of $264.83. Can Aaron afford this? Explain a. Yes, he can make the purchase and still have money left over. b. Yes, but doing so will clear out his account. c. No, purchasing that would overdraw his account. d. No, he is overdrawn already

Aaron's bank account balance=$1213.69

He made all this transactions below;

Car payment

260.16

Groceries

97.98

Parking ticket

75.00

DVD box set

115.35

Antique lamp

68.53

Suit

331.84

The summation of all his transactions is;260.16+97.98+75.00+115.35+68.53+

331.84= $948.86

Which means after performing those transactions above, he was left with $948.86.

We were informed that Aaron is considering getting his car a new paint job. Doing so will have a total cost of $264.83.

For him to paint his car now he will spend $264.83, if we add with the previous transactions it sum up to $1213.69 which was actual amount he has at hand. I.e ($264.83+$948.86)=

$1213.69

Therefore, the answer is Yes, but doing so will clear out his account.

A city taxi driver charges $2 per kilometer and has a starting fee of $9. An Uber driver charges $5 per kilometer, but has no starting fee. At which distance (in kilometers) will the price of taking an Uber be equal to the price of taking a city taxi?

Answers

Answer:

Taxi Driver: 9+2x=

Uber Driver: 5x=

So we just gotta keep multiplying until we find where they’re equal. So let’s assume that when we can get the Taxi Drivers price to have a 5 in the tens place or a 0 in the tens place. By the looks of it, they will meet at 15$ for that to happen let x=3, which would make the taxi driver’s equation 9+2(3), 9+6=15$, and the uber driver’s equation would be 5(3)=15$. X=3 or X=distance in kilometers.

For 7/3, multiply by "7/7" and for 4/7 multiply by "3/3".

49/21 + 12/21

Li and Jen went shopping. • Li bought 5 pairs of earrings and 1 necklace for a total of $63. • Jen bought 1 pair of earrings and 2 necklaces for a total of $36. Each pair of earrings cost e dollars and each necklace cost n dollars. Which system of equations can be used to find the cost, in dollars, of each pair of earrings and each necklace?

Answers

Answer:

Earing is $13Necklace is $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let us express the cost

for Li

5e+n=63---------1

for Jen

e+2n=36---------2

the system of equations are

5e+n=63----1

e+2n=36-----2

Multiply 1 by 1 and 2 by 5 to eliminate e we have

 5e+n=63

 5e+10n=180

-0-9n=-117

9n=117

Divide both sides by 9 we have

n=117/9

n=13

put n=13 in eqn 1 we have

e+2(13)=36

e+26=36

e=36-26

e=10

Earing is $13

Necklace is $10

​(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest dollar as​ needed.)


b. The interest is approximately= ​$


​(Use the answer from part a to find this​ answer.)

Answers

Answer: a. After 5 ​years, you will have approximately= $ 6,850.43 .

b. The interest is approximately =$ 1850.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Principal amount (P) =  $5000

Rate of interest (r)= 6.5%  = 0.065

n= 1  (compounded annually)

a) Time (t) = 5 years

Formula for accumulated amount  :

[tex]A=P(1+\dfrac rn)^{nt}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]A=5000(1+0.065)^5\\\\=5000(1.065)^5\\\\=5000(1.37008666342)\\\\\approx \$\ 6850.43[/tex]

Hence, After 5 ​years, you will have approximately $ 6,850.43 .

b) Compound interest = A-P

= $ 6,850.43 - $ 5,000

= $ 1850.43

Hence, The interest is approximately $ 1850.43.

4(2q – 3) = 8q-12

Pls solve and show steps

Answers

Answer:

LHS = RHS = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 4(2q - 3 ) = 8q - 12.

=> 8q - 12 = 8q - 12 .

=> 8q - 8q - 12 = -12 .

=> -12 = -12 .

Hence LHS = RHS .

[tex]4(2q - 3) = 8q - 12[/tex]

[tex]8q - 12 = 8q - 12[/tex]

[tex]8q + - 12 = 8q + - 12[/tex]

[tex] - 12 - 8q = - 12 - 8q[/tex]

[tex] - 12 = - 12[/tex]

[tex] - 12 + 12 = - 12 + 12[/tex]

[tex]0 = 0[/tex]

By the above equation , we can conclude that any real number can be placed in the place of q to make the left hand side of the equation become equal to the right hand side of the equation .

Therefore , any real number ( integer , fraction and rational number ) can be placed in the place of q .

A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 62.6 in. And standard deviation 2.5 in. The survey also found that men's heights are normally distributed with mean 68.3 in. And standard deviation 3.3 in. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 57 in. And a maximum of 64 in. If the height requirements are changed to exclude only the tallest​ 50% of men and the shortest​ 5% of​ men, what are the new height​ requirements?

Answers

Answer:

The new height requirements are minimum of 64.1875 inches and maximum of 68.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To exclude the tallest 50% of men and shortest 5% of men, we need to find the critical z-value for a significance level of 0.5 & 0.05 and then solve for x in the z-score equation.

For significance value of 0.5, z = 0

We are given;

μ = 68.3 in

σ = 2.5 in

Thus from z = (x - μ)/σ, we have;

0 =(x - 68. 3)/2.5

0 = x - 68. 3

x = 68.3 inches for men max

Similarly, for significance value of 0.05, z = -1.645

Thus to find x;

-1.645 = (x - 68. 3)/2.5

-4.1125 = x - 68.3

x = 68.3 - 4.1125

x = 64.1875 inches for men min
