Acetaminophen, in amounts greater than 4 g per day, has been associated with liver toxicity. what is the maximum number of 500-mg tablets of acetaminophen that a person may take daily and not reach the toxic level?

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum amount of Acetaminophen that can be taken = 4 g per day

Weight of acetaminophen tablet = 500 mg

let the number of tablets that can be taken be 'x'

therefore,

x × 500 mg ≤ 4 g

also, 1 g = 1000 mg

thus,

x × 500 ≤ 4000

or

x ≤  8

hence,

the maximum numbers of tablets that can be taken per day is 8

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
