Medications are often packaged in liquid form (known as a suspension) so that a precise dose of a drug is delivered within a volume of inert liquid; for example, 250 milligrams amoxicillin in 5 milliliters of a liquid suspension.

Determine the amount of usable space, in square inches, on one side of an 8.5-inch by 11-inch piece of paper with the default margins of 1.25-inch and 1-inch. b. The Green Falcons, a campus environmental club, has convinced their colleges computer lab to reduce the default margins in their word-processing software by x inches. Create and simplify the quadratic expression that represents the new usable area, in square inches, of one side of an 8.5-inch by 11-inch piece of paper if the default margins at the computer lab are each reduced by x inches. c. Subtract the usable space in part (a) from the expression in part (b). Explain what this difference represents. d. If 10 pages are printed using the new margins and as a result the computer lab saved one whole sheet of paper, then by how much did the computer lab reduce the margins?

Einsteins special theory of relativity states that time is relative: Time speeds up or slows down, depending on how fast one object is moving with respect to another. For example, a space probe traveling at a velocity vnear the speed of light cwill have clocked a time thours, but for a stationary observer on Earth that corresponds to a time t0. The formula governing this relativity is given by Physics: Special Theory of Relativity. If the time elapsed on a space probe mission is 18 years but the time elapsed on Earth during that mission is 30 years, how fast is the space probe traveling? Give your answer relative to the speed of light.
