A drug is eliminated from the body through urine. Suppose that for a dose of 10 milligrams, the amount A(t) remaining in the bod

y t hours later is given by A(t) = 10(0.7)t and that in order for the drug to be effective, at least 4 milligrams must be in the body.
a. Determine when 2 milligrams is left in the body.
b. What is the half-life of the drug?

Answer: a - 4.512 hours

b - 1.94 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

a) A(t) = 10 (0.7)^t

To determine when 2mg is left in the body

We would have,

A(t) = 2, therefore

2 = 10(0.7)^t

0.7^t =2÷10

0.7^t = 0.2

Take the log of both sides,

Log (0.7)^t = log 0.2

t log 0.7 = log 0.2

t = log 0.2/ 0.7

t = 4.512 hours

Thus it will take 4.512 hours for 2mg to be left in the body.

b) Half life

Let A(t) = 1/2 A(0)

Thus,

1/2 A(0) = A(0)0.7^t

Divide both sides by A(0)

1/2 = 0.7^t

0.7^t = 0.5

Take log of both sides

Log 0.7^t = log 0.5

t log 0.7 = log 0.5

t = log 0.5/log 0.7

t = 1.94 hours

Therefore, the half life of the drug is 1.94 hours

The solution to the equation r(1 - 2cosФ) = 1 is given as x² + y² - 4x√(x² + y²)  + 4x² = 1

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

In polar form:

r = √(x² + y²) and cosФ = x / √(x² + y²)

Hence:

r(1 - 2cosФ) = 1

√(x² + y²) [1 - 2(x / √(x² + y²))] = 1

√(x² + y²) - 2x = 1

Take square of both sides:

x² + y² - 4x√(x² + y²)  + 4x² = 1

The solution to the equation r(1 - 2cosФ) = 1 is given as x² + y² - 4x√(x² + y²)  + 4x² = 1

What is (f - g)(x)?<br>f(x) = 5x<br>g(x) = 3x2 - 8x​
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

(5x)-(3x^2-8x)=-3x^2+13x

Step-by-step explanation:

(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)

Using this, we can subtract and find the answer.

(5x)-(3x^2-8x)=-3x^2+13x
