The dosage in milligrams D of a heartworm preventive for a dog who weighs x pounds is given by D(x) =136/25x.
Find the proper dosage for a dog that weighs 24 pounds.

Respuesta :

Answer:

130.56 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation might be written incorrectly. Given that for a heavier dog, a higher dosage is required, the equation that describes the dosage in milligrams of a heartworm preventive for a dog who weighs x pounds is:

[tex]D(x) = \frac{136}{25}x[/tex]

If a dog weighs 24 pounds, than the dosage required for this dog is:

[tex]D(24) = \frac{136}{25}*24\\D(24) = 130.56\ mg[/tex]
