Let Q(t) = the mass (mg) remaining after t hours.
We are told that Q diminishes by 3% every hour.

When t = 0, Q = 4 mg
When t = 1,  Q = 4*0.97 mg
When t = 2, Q = 4*(0.97)² mg

By induction,
Q(t) = 4 (0.97)^{t} \, mg

Q'(t) = 0.97Q
Therefore the rate of decrease is 3% per hour.

The person receives an additional dosage when Q falls to 0.50 mg. This happens when
4(0.97)^{t}=0.5 \\0.97^{t} = 0.125 \\ t \,ln(0.97) = ln(0.125) \\ t =  \frac{ln(0.125)}{ln(0.97)} =68.27 \, hrs

After the second injection, the mass is now 4.5 mg. Therefore
Q(t)=4.5(0.97)^{t}

When the mass again reaches 0.50 mg, then
4.5(0.97)^{t}=0.5 \\ 0.97^{t}=0.1111 \\ t \, ln(0.97) = ln(0.1111) \\ t = 72.14 \, hrs

Answers: 
(a) Q(t) = 4(0.97)^{t}
(b) 3% per hour
(c) 68.3 hours
(d) 72.1 hours

liubo4ka [24]

any multiple of 12

Since 2, 3 and 4 divide exactly into the number of rocks

We are looking for the common multiples of 2, 3 and 4

2 × 3 × 4 = 24 is possible but dividing by 2 gives 12 the lowest common multiple

Any multiple of 12 gives a possible number of rocks.

The first play of a football game resulted in a loss of 12 and 1/2 yards . Then a penalty resulted in another loss of 5 yards .W
Irina-Kira [14]
<span>To find the total loss for this play, take the two values, find their signs (positive or negative), then sum them. In this case, the play itself resulted in a movement of -12.5 yards, and the penalty added a -5 yard movement to the result. This would lead to a total movement of (-12.5 + [-5]), or -17.5 yards.</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the terms and take out a common factor of 4

4(8x^2 + 2x + 1)

I think this is as far down as you want to take it. It gives an imaginary root which you may not be familiar with.
