a. 
b. 
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need tot find a general expression for the amount of caffeine remaining in the body after certain time. As the problem states that every hour x percent of caffeine leaves the body, we must substract that percentage from the initial quantity of caffeine, by each hour passing. That expression would be:

Then, to find the amount of caffeine metabolized per hour, we need to differentiate the previous equation. Following the differentiation rules we get:

The rate is negative as it represents the amount of caffeine leaving the body at certain time.
To convert from decimal to percent, just multiply the decimal value by 100. In this example we have: 1.27 × 100 = 127% (answer)
x^2 in the function that you typed is x * x ( x multiplied by x). It represents a second degree because there are only 2 "x"s multiplied together. If there were 3 "x"s multiplied together, we would have x^3. Since the highest exponent in this function is 2 (in x^2), we call this function a 2nd degree polynomial.
