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>
Take the 2/5 and multiple it by 3 to get 6/15....then take the 1/3 and multiple it by 5 to get 5/15. Then add this together (6/15+5/15=....) to get 11/15
Answer:
70%
Step-by-step explanation:
60 - Altogether
18 - Strawberries
42 - Lemons
42/60 = 0.7
0.7 x 100 = 70%
Answer:
3.25 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A = bh
A = (2.5)(1.3)
A = 3.25
D divide by 1000… you are shifting the decimal 3 places (there are 3 zeros in 1000) you are dividing because the number is getting smaller.
