How Do You Think You Could Lobby The Pharmaceutical Companies To Participate In

/in /by

How do you think you could lobby the pharmaceutical companies to participate in a comprehensive healthcare program that includes prescriptions, with or without a co-pay tier? . Currently, the pharmaceutical industry is largely based on volume, and pharmaceutical companies are incentivized to sell as many pills as possible, at the highest price.  This is primarily due to the cost associated with research and development.  Once a drug is FDA approved, the patent lasts for approximately 13 years.  This means the pharmaceutical company only has a short time to recover research and development expenses and turn a profit before anyone in the industry can manufacture the same drug in generic form. It just seems to me there is no incentive for the pharmaceutical industry to participate in any healthcare program that will have a negative fiscal impact on their bottom line.

How Do You Use A Calculator To Evaluate The Expression Log12 To Four Decimal Pla

/in /by

##log 12 ~~ 1.0792##

Since I remember (as is useful to remember):

##log 2 ~~ 0.30103##

##log 3 ~~ 0.47712125##

I can calculate:

##log 12 = log (2*2*3)##

##color(white)(log 12) = log 2 + log 2 + log 3##

##color(white)(log 12) ~~ 0.30103 + 0.30103 + 0.47712125##

##color(white)(log 12) ~~ 0.60206 + 0.47712125##

##color(white)(log 12) ~~ 1.07918125##

If you request ##log 12## on a calculator, you will get a similar approximation.

If we truncated this to ##4## decimal places then we would get:

##1.0791##

but the following digit is ##8 >= 5##, so in order to round the value to ##4## decimal places we need to round up the final digit ##1## to ##2## to get:

##log 12 ~~ 1.0792##

##color(white)()##Footnote

If you remember good approximations for ##log 2## and ##log 3## then you can calculate approximations to ##log n## for ##n in { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20,… }##, i.e. any positive integer whose only prime factors are ##2##, ##3## or ##5##.

That seems to me to be good value for the sake of remembering a couple of numbers.

How Do You Use L Hospital S Rule To Find The Limit Lim X Gt Oo Xsin Pi X

/in /by

The undetermination case is [infinity x 0], so we need to change it into one that we can use the L’Hospital rule with. This is the reason why we move ##x## at the denominator, as ##1/x##. This is the form that we can use the L’Hospital rule with. Be aware of the chain rule when differentiating ##sin (pi/x)##.

How Do You Use Synthetic Substitution To Evaluate P X 4x 2 9x 2 For X 3

/in /by

Answer is 11, You use the L shaped box (read below)

So first step is to create that L shaped box and write 3 outside of it.

The first number is the coefficient of the greatest power, or 4, since it’s with ##x^2##. Go in order, the next number should be the coefficient of x, and the next after that is ##x^0=1##.

Pull the first number down without doing anything to it, then multiply that by the number outside the Lso ##4 * 3 = 12##take that answer and put it back in under the second coefficient and add them together-9 + 12 = 3

then take that answer, multiply by the number outside the box##3 * 3 = 9##and put that under the third coefficient and add them together2+9=11

Plug x=3 into the equation to check.

How Do You Use The Definition Of Continuity And The Properties Of Limits To Show

/in /by

There is no one sentence answer.

In order for ##g## to be continuous on ##[3,5]##, the definition of continuous on a closed interval requires:

For ##c## in ##(3,5)##, we need##lim_(xrarrc) g(x) = g(c)##and we also need one-sided continuity at the endpoints: we need: ## lim_(xrarr3^+) g(x) = g(3)## and ##lim_(xrarr5^-) g(x) = g(5)##

For ##c## in ##(3,5)##, We’ll use the properties of limits to evaluate the limit:

##lim_(xrarrc) g(x) = lim_(xrarrc) sqrt(-x^2+8x-15)##

##= sqrt(lim_(xrarrc)(-x^2+8x-15))##

##= sqrt(lim_(xrarrc)(-x^2)+lim_(xrarrc)(8x)-lim_(xrarrc)(15))##

##= sqrt(-lim_(xrarrc)(x^2)+8lim_(xrarrc)(x)-lim_(xrarrc)(15))##

##= sqrt(-(lim_(xrarrc)(x))^2+8lim_(xrarrc)(x)-lim_(xrarrc)(15))##

##= sqrt(-(c)^2+8(c)-(15))##

##= g(c)##

Use the one-sided versions of the limit properties at the endpoints.

For ##c=3##, replace all limits of the form ##lim_(xrarrc)## with ##lim_(xrarr3^+)##

For ##c=5##, replace all limits of the form ##lim_(xrarrc)## with ##lim_(xrarr5^-)##

How Do You Use The Leading Coefficient Test To Determine The End Behavior Of The

/in /by

If the leading coefficient is negative, the polynomial function will eventually decrease to negative infinity; if the leading coefficient is positive, the polynomial function will eventually increase to positive infinity.

This answer assumes by leading coefficient you mean the coefficient of the highest powered ##x## term (the normal usage).

If ##g(x)## is a polynomial with greatest degree ##n##then if ##m > n##, the absolute value of ##x^m## will be greater than the absolute value of ##g(x)## once ##x## becomes sufficiently large.

For example if ##g(x) = 5x^2 – 4x +12####x^3## will have an absolute value greater than ##g(x)## provided x is greater than 3.

Since the term with the highest exponent will eventually provide a value that exceeds the combined value of all other terms, the sign of that term determines the eventual direction of the function value.

How Do You Use The Rational Root Theorem To Find The Roots Of P X 0 25x 2 12x

/in /by

##x=2″ “## or ##” “x=46##

First multiply by ##4## to make all of the coefficients into integers:

##4P(x) = 4(0.25x^2-12x+23) = x^2-48x+92##

By the rational root theorem, any of ##x^2-48x+92## (and therefore of ##P(x)##) are expressible in the form ##p/q## for integers ##p, q## with ##p## a divisor of the constant term ##92## and ##q## a divisor of the coefficient ##1## of the leading term.

That means that the only possible rational are:

##+-1, +-2, +-4, +-23, +-46, +-92##

Trying each in turn we soon find:

##P(color(blue)(2)) = 0.25(color(blue)(2))^2-12(color(blue)(2))+23 = 1-24+23 = 0##

So ##x=2## is a zero and ##(x-2)## a factor:

##x^2-48x+92 = (x-2)(x-46)##

So the other zero of ##P(x)## is ##x=46##

How Do You Use The Trapezoidal Rule With Four Equal Subdivisions To Approximate

/in /by

First split the interval ##[a,b]## into 4 equal subintervals:

##[x_0,x_1],[x_1,x_2],[x_2,x_3]##, and ##[x_3,x_4]##.

(Note: ##x_0=a## and ##x_4=b##)

The definite integral

##int_a^b f(x)dx##

can be approximated by

##T_4=[f(x_0)+2f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+2f(x_3)+f(x_4)]cdot{Delta x}/{2}##,

where ##Delta x={b-a}/4##.

I hope that this is helpful.
