This is a warmup for your first project. The drug valium is eliminated from the bloodstream through a decay process with a half-

life of 36 hours. This means that no matter how much drug is in your body, 36 hours later, half will be left. An initial dose of 20 milligrams of valium is taken at midnight. This is actually a version of the mixing-tank problem with the tank representing the circulatory system. If we don’t know something, give it a name (e.g. flow in = rin). Assume that the volume of blood in a person does not fluctuate much, so we can assume it is a constant.
(a) Define your dependent and independent variable with units. Typical volume units for blood is in terms of Liters.
(b) What is the flow rate in? flow rate out? concentration going in? concentration going out? initial condition?
(c) Write the initial value problem (IVP).
(d) Solve your initial value problem.
(e) Use information given to you to determine all constants in your solution.
(f) What is the amount of valium in your body at noon the next day? How long does it take for the drug to reach 10% of its initial level?

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We have v as the amount of drug(mg) in the blood at time t (hrs)

b. Flow rate in = k litre/he

For a circulatory system we have the flow rate in and flow rate out to be the same

Therefore,

Flow rate out = k litre/hr

concentration of drug going in = 0mg/litre

Concentration of drug going out = v mg/litre

V(0) = 20mg since 20mg was taken at midnight

V(0) = 20

Half life t1/2 = 36 hours

V(36) = v(0)/2

= 20/2

= 10mg

C. ivp = \frac{dv}{dt}= -kv

v(0) = 20mg\\v(36) = 10mg

d. solution

\frac{dv}{dt}  = -kt\\ln(v) = ln(c) - kt

\frac{v}{c} = e^{-kt}  = v=ce^{-kt}

v(0) = 20

ce^{-k(0)} =20

c = 20

so

v(t) = 20e^{-kt}

e.

t\frac{1}{2}=36hours\\ v(36)= 10

10 = 20e^{-36k}

\frac{1}{2} =e^{-36k}

we take log

k=\frac{ln(2)}{36}

vlabodo [156]
This is one of those questions where there's a list of choices that goes along with it,
but you're not sharing the list.

The product of (2x + 5) and (x - 3) is (2x² - x - 15) . That may be useful.

How can I convert a fraction into a decimal and a decimal into a fraction?
gogolik [260]
Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, 100, or 1000 and multiple both top and bottom by that number then write down just the top number putting the decimal point in the correct spot.

a square painting has an area of 81x^2-90x-25. A second square painting has an area of 25x^2+30x+9. What is an expression that r
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A1 ------> the area of the first square painting

A2 ---->  the area of the second square painting

D -----> the difference of the areas

we have

A1=81x^{2}-90x-25

A2=25x^{2}+30x+9

case 1) The area of the second square painting is greater than the area of the first square painting

The difference of the area of the paintings is equal to subtract the area of the first square painting from the area of the second square painting

D=A2-A1

D=(25x^{2}+30x+9)-(81x^{2}-90x-25)

D=(-56x^{2}+120x+34)

case 2) The area of the first square painting is greater than the area of the second square painting

The difference of the area of the paintings is equal to subtract the area of the second square painting from the area of the first square painting

D=A1-A2

D=(81x^{2}-90x-25)-(25x^{2}+30x+9)

D=(56x^{2}-120x-34)

In a random sample of 80 teenagers, the average number of texts handled in a day is 50. The 96% confidence interval for the mean
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

a) \bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50

And the margin of error is given by:

ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is \alpha=1-0.96=0.04 and the value of \alpha/2 =0.02 and the margin of error is given by:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}

And replacing we got:

\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45

b) ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

\bar X represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)  

\sigma represent the population standard deviation  

n=80 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)  

For this case we can calculate the mean like this:

\bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50

And the margin of error is given by:

ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is \alpha=1-0.96=0.04 and the value of \alpha/2 =0.02 and the margin of error is given by:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}

And replacing we got:

\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45

Part b

For this case is the sample size is doubled the margin of error would be:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor \sqrt{2}

Which equation is a quadratic model for the data set? Hint: Use a graphing calculator or a spreadsheet program.
Ivahew [28]

The equation that model a quadratic function is:  y=0.9673x²-0.8475x+10.4334

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function has the form of ;

f(x) = ax²+bx+c  where a, b and c are real numbers and a≠0

For this case, equation y=0.9673x²-0.8475x+10.4334 models a quadratic function where a>0 thus the parabola opens upwards
