Question

A certain medication is eliminated from the bloodstream at a rate of about 17% per

Answer 1

Using an exponential function, it is found that the multiplier used to predict the amount of medication remaining 2 hours after the peak level is of 0.6889.

What is an exponential function?

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, we have that the decay rate is of r = 0.17, hence:

$A(t) = A(0)(0.83)^t$

After 2 hours, the multiplier is given by:

$A(2) = A(0)(0.83)^2 = 0.6889A(0)$
