Using an exponential function, it is found that there will be only 3 milligrams remaining in the patient's system after 201 minutes.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, initially, there are 11 milligrams on the patient's system, hence A(0) = 11. After 70 minutes there are 7 milligrams, hence A(70) = 7, and this is used to find r.

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

7 = 11(1 - r)^{70}

(1 - r)^{70} = \frac{7}{11}

\sqrt[70]{(1 - r)^{70}} = \sqrt[70]{\frac{7}{11}}

1 - r = \left(\frac{7}{11}\right)^\frac{1}{70}

1 - r = 0.99356387084

r = 1 - 0.99356387084

r = 0.00643612916

Hence the equation for the amount after t minutes is:

A(t) = 11(0.99356387084)^t

In will be of 3 mg when A(t) = 3, hence:

A(t) = 11(0.99356387084)^t

3 = 11(0.99356387084)^t

(0.99356387084)^t = \frac{3}{11}

\log{(0.99356387084)^t} = \log{\left(\frac{3}{11}\right)}

t\log{(0.99356387084)} = \log{\left(\frac{3}{11}\right)}

t = \frac{\log{\left(\frac{3}{11}\right)}}{\log{(0.99356387084)}}

t = 201

There will be only 3 milligrams remaining in the patient's system after 201 minutes.
