Geometric sequence general form: a * r^n
For Greg, we are given the elimination of the medicine as a geometric nth term equation:
200 * (0.88)^t
The amount of medicine starts at 200 mg and every hour, decreases by 12%;
To compare the decrease in medicine in the body between the two, it is useful to get them in a common form;
So, using the data provided for Henry, we will also attempt to find a geometric nth term equation that will work if we can:
As a geometric sequence, the first term would be a and the second term would be ar where r = multiplier;
If we divide the second term by the first term, we will therefore get r, which is 0.94 for Henry;
We can check that the data for Henry can be represented as a geometric sequence by using the multiplier (r) to see if we can generate the third value of the data;
We do this like so:
282 * (0.94)^2 = 249.18 (correct to 2 d.p)
We can tell that the data for Henry is also a geometric sequence.
So now, we just look at the multiplier for Henry and we find that every hour, the medicine decreases by 6%, half of the rate of decrease for Greg.
The answer is therefore that <span>Henry's body eliminated the antibiotic at half of the rate at which Greg's body eliminated the antibiotic.</span>
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
d should represent the graph
So r is a number that when you add to t it will increase so its
T + r
Answer:
The zeros are 0, 4, 6.
The y-intercept is 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^3 - 10x^2 + 24x
x^3 - 10x^2 + 24x = 0
x(x^2 - 10x + 24) = 0
x(x - 4)(x - 6) = 0
x = 0 or x - 4 = 0 or x - 6 = 0
x = 0 or x = 4 or x = 6
y-intercept:
Since x = 0 is a root, that means that the point (0, 0) is part of the function. That makes the y-intercept 0.
You can also solve for the y-intercept by letting x = 0 in the function and solving for f(0).
Let x = 0.
f(0) = 0^3 - 10(0^2) + 24(0)
f(0) = 0
y-intercept: 0
