    3. b equals . fraction c plus eh x , over y squared end fraction
    4. b equals , fraction c , over y squared end fraction , plus eh x

Extended Response

  1. The recommended dosage D, in milligrams, of a certain medicine depends on a person's body mass m, in kilograms. The function rule d equals 0.1 , m squared , plus 5 m  represents this relationship.

    1. What is the recommended dosage for a person whose mass is 60 kg? Show your work.
    2. One pound is equivalent to approximately 0.45 kg. Explain how to find the recommended dosage for a 200-lb person. What is this dosage?
