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

2. 4

3a. -6 and -4

3b.  -1/2 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

3a explanation:

Factor x^2+10x+24

(x+4)(x+6)

Set the factors equal to 0

x + 4 = 0

x + 6 = 0

-4 and -6

3b.

Factor left side of equation.

(2x+1)(x+5)=0

Set factors equal to 0.

2x + 1 = 0 or

x + 5 = 0

x =  −1/2

x = -5

-5 and -1/2

If D-M-G, DM=2x , MG= x-2 , and DG= 7 , find x
Dmitrij [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

DG is the total measurement of the line. M is a point inbetween D & G

2x + x - 2 = 7

Simplify. Combine likke terms

(2x + x) - 2 = 7

3x - 2 = 7

Isolate the x. First, add 2 to both sides

3x - 2 (+2) = 7 (+2)

3x = 9

Isolate the x. Divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (9)/3

x = 9/3

x = 3

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 is your answer for x
