Using exponential functions, it is found that:
a) Since the <u>amount of caffeine will be less than 50 mg</u>, the patient will be ready for the blood test by 6 a.m.
b) The patient could have ingest 231 milligrams of caffeine.
A decaying <em>exponential function</em> is modeled by:
In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem:
- Caffeine metabolize at a rate of 13% per hour, hence
.
Then:
Item a:
The coffee cup contains 150 milligrams of caffeine, hence .
At 6 a.m., it is 8 hours after drinking the coffee, hence we have to find A(8).
Since the <u>amount of caffeine will be less than 50 mg</u>, the patient will be ready for the blood test by 6 a.m.
Item b:
This A(0), considering <u>A(11) = 50</u>, hence:
The patient could have ingest 231 milligrams of caffeine.
