If the recommended adult dosage for a drug is D (in mg), then to determine the appropriate dosage c for a child of age a, pharmacists use the equation c = 0.0488 D (a + 1). Suppose the dosage for an adult is 200 mg. What is the dosage for a newborn?

Respuesta :

c=0.0488 D (a+1)
c= ?
D=200 mg
a= 1 day or 0.002739726 year
c=0.0488 × 200 (0.002739726+1)
c= 9.76 × 1.002739726
c=9.786739726
c=9.787 mg
