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 pie chart represents the proportions of how Henry spent the £720 he took on holiday.
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

£124

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, you're meant to add all the figures given on the pie chart, which is 29+137+58+62+74 and that will give you a total of 360 degrees

so, you say 360 degrees is equal to the total amount of money he spent, which is £720, what about 62 degrees

therefore, you just do (62×720)÷360

that will give you £124
