Question 618199: Hi! I've tried several answers to this question but they have all been wrong. I hope that someone can show me the way.
The amount of medication that an infant requires is typically a function of the baby's weight. The number of milliliters of an anti-seizure medication A is given by A(x)=(square root x)+2, where x is the weight of the infant in ounces. In emergencies there is often not enough time to weigh the infant, so nurses have to estimate the baby's weight. What is the function that represents the actual amount of medication the infant is given if his weight is overestimated by 1.7 ounces. Thank you for your help!

----
A(x+1.7) = sqrt(x+1.7) + 2 where x is the baby's actual weight.
