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

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving? 6 –3/4x +1/3 =1/2 x + 5
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The number is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 6-\dfrac{3}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{2}x+5

We need to find a number multiply to each term to get rid of fraction.

We will find LCD of denominator.

First we see the numbers at denominator

Denominators are 4,3,2

Now, we will find the LCD of 2,3, and 4

Factor of 2: 2x1

Factor of 3: 3x1

Factor of 4: 2x2x1

LCD = 2x2x3 = 12

If we multiply by 12 to each term to eliminate the fraction.

Simplest equation:

12\cdot 6-12\cdot \dfrac{3}{4}x+12\cdot \dfrac{1}{3}=12\cdot \dfrac{1}{2}x+12\cdot 5

72-9x+4=6x+60

Hence, The number is 12.
