The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

x f(x)
−1 −11
0 −1
1 9

g(x) = 5x + 1

part a: write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x).

part b: which function has the least y-intercept? justify your answer.

Adoctor administers a drug to a 38-kg patient, using a dosage formula of 50 mg/kg/day. assume that the drug is available in a 100 mg per 5 ml suspension or in 500 mg tablets. a. how many tablets should a 38-kg patient take every four hours? b. the suspension with a drop factor of 10 ggt/ml delivers the drug intravenously to the patient over a twelve-hour period. what flow rate should be used in units of ggt/hr? a. the patient should take nothing pills every four hours. (type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
