The physician orders 125 mg of a medication. on hand is a bottle that reads 500 mg/5ml. how much should the medical assistant administer

If there are 500 mg of medicine in 5 ml of liquid, we need to set up a proportion to find out how much liquid medication has 125 mg of medicine in it. Set up the proportion as follows:

.

Cross multiply to get 500x = 625. Divide by 500 to get that you need 1.25 ml of liquid if your dose is 125 mg of medicine.

answer: 204

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that the revenue is

x⋅(4080−10x)=−10x^2+4080x

this is a quadratic function, so to maximize it we should find the x-value of its vertex. recall that the x-value of the vertex of the parabola ax^2+bx+c is given by the formula −b/2a.

so in this case, we have a=−10 and b=4080, so the x-value of the vertex is

−b/2a= −(4080)/2(−10)=204
