Problem 66
Doctors use the rational expression $$\frac{D A}{A+12}$$ to determine the dosage of a drug prescribed for children. In this expression, \(A=\) child's age, and \(D=\) adult dosage. What is the difference in the child's dosage for a 7-year-old child and a 3 -year-old child? Express the answer as a single rational expression in terms of \(D .\) Then describe what your answer means in terms of the variables in the rational expression.
