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

HEY CAN ANYONE PLS ANSWER DIS MATH QUESTION!!!!!!!!
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

  • 80 tons
  • $20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>21. 1st scenario</u>

  • B = fy + wz
  • 100,000 = 15,000*4 + 500w
  • 500w = 100,000 - 60,000
  • 500w = 40,000
  • w = 40,000/500
  • w = 80

80 tons of wheat

<u>22. 2nd scenario</u>

  • B = fy + wz
  • 50,000 = 2y + 200*50
  • 50,000 = 2y + 10,000
  • 2y = 50,000 - 10,000
  • 2y = 40,000
  • y = 20,000

Last years sales at the drive in movie theater totol 144.600. This year's sales should increase by 1/3. how much should sales in
KATRIN_1 [288]
A] Given that the last years's sales was $144,600 and this years sales should increase by 1/3. Then:
i] Amount the sales should increased by will be:
(last year's sales)*(increase)
=144,600*(1/3)
=48,200

ii] The sales in the new year will be:
(last year's sales)+(increase)
=144600+48600
=$192, 800

2] Given that the sales of hifi which included 6% tax was 205,000. The actual sales was:
Actual percentage sales=100%
percentage sales after taxation=100-6=94%
thus the  actual sales was:
(100)/(94)*205,000
=218, 085.1064

3]Given that the rate per $100 is $0.83, and the insurance was for 90000, the insurance premium will be:
(total insurance) *(unit rate)/(number of units)
plugging the values we obtain:
90000*0.83/100
$747
