Leonard drinks coffee that contains 300 mg of caffeine. Over the course of the day, every hour, one-half of the caffeine in his

system leaves the body and one-half stays. Let x = the number of hours and y = the amount of caffeine in Leonard's system. If he finishes his coffee at 9:00 am, how many mg of caffeine are left in his system at 1:00 pm? Write the equation using the variables above that represents this situation and solve the problem, showing the calculation you did to get your answer.

Answer:

18.75 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this problem using the exponencial equation:

y = yo * (1 + r)^x

Where y is the final value, yo is the inicial value, r is the rate and x is the amount of time.

In this problem, we want to find y after x = 4 hours (from 9am to 1pm), we have yo = 300 and r = -0.5 (for every hour, half the caffeine leaves the body). So we have that:

y = 300 * (1 - 0.5)^4

y = 300 * 0.5^4

y = 300 * 0.0625

y = 18.75 mg

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = 6 when x = 2, find x when y = 12.
igomit [66]

Answer:

x = 4 when y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of y to x is 6:2. If you multiply either one of them, you must do the same to the remaining number. So, when you multiply 6 by 2 to get 12, you must also multiply 2 by 2 to keep the ratio equal and the same. 2x2 = 4, so x=4 when y=12. Hope this helped! Good luck with other math problems :)

2 y + 4 x = 8, Solve for y
mash [69]

Answer:

y=−2x+4

Step-by-step:

2y+4x=8

Step 1: Add -4x to both sides.

4x+2y+−4x=8+−4x

2y=−4x+8

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2y /2 = −4x+8 /2

y=−2x+4
