Answer:

(a)8.0mg

(b)36.87 hours

(c)-0.168

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time can be modeled with the exponential decay function A ( t ) = 10 e^{ -0.0188 t (t in hours)

(a)After 12 Hours

A ( 12) = 10 e^{ -0.0188*12}\\=7.98\\\approx 8.0 mg $(to the nearest tenth of a milligram)

(b)If A(t)=5mg

Then:

5= 10 e^{ -0.0188 t}\\$Divide both sides by 10\\0.5=e^{ -0.0188 t}\\$Take the natural logarithm of both sides\\ln (0.5)=-0.0188 t\\t=ln (0.5) \div (-0.0188)\\$t=36.87 hours (to two decimal places.)

(c)

A ( t ) = 10 e^{ -0.0188 t}\\A'(t)=10(-0.0188)e^{ -0.0188 t}\\A'(t)=-0.188e^{ -0.0188 t}\\$At 6 hours, the rate at which the amount of Valium is decaying therefore is:\\A'(6)=-0.188e^{ -0.0188*6}\\$=-0.168 ( to three decimal places)

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept
Tju [1.3M]

Step-by-step explanation:

x intercept is when y = 0 and y intercept is when x = 0 hence, x intercept is : x = -56 hence (-56, 0) and y intercept is: 4y = -56 y = -14 hence (0, -14)

The amount of money,y, in cash box after x tickets are purchased for carnival games. The slope of the line is 1/4 and the y-inte
victus00 [196]

Amount of money received when x tickets are sold=$Y

Number of tickets sold=X

Slope of line= \frac{1}{4}

And , y- intercept = 8

Equation of line having slope m and y-intercept c is given by,

  y = m x + c,

Expressing the above statement in terms of linear equation in two variable i.e a line is

  Y = \frac{1}{4}X + 8

Answer:

The following numbers ARE functions:

2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is only possible if the x values have NO REPEATING NUMBER!!!

Every number that isn't mentioned above has at least 1 number in it's x-values that repeats.

<u>Question 1</u> has the 8 and 4 with 2 numbers.

<u>Question 4</u> the 3 repeating. (There are 2 dots over the 3)

<u>Question 5</u> has numbers 1 and 5 repeating many times

<u>Question 8</u> numbers 1 and 2 are repeated twice

<u>Question 10</u> number 3 repeats twice
