For this case we have an equation of the form:
 y = A (b) ^ t
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: decrease rate
 t: time
 Substituting values:
 y = 750 (0.5) ^ ((1/15) * t)
 The number of days to reach 68 mg is:
 68 = 750 (0.5) ^ ((1/15) * t)
 Clearing t:
 (0.5) ^ ((1/15) * t) = (68/750)
 log0.5 ((0.5) ^ ((1/15) * t)) = log0.5 (68/750)
 (1/15) * t = log0.5 (68/750)
 t = 15 * log0.5 (68/750)
 t = 51.94
 Rounding:
 t = 52 days
 Answer:
 
D. ≈ 52 days

CaHeK987 [17]

The equation of a sphere centered at (h, j, k) with radius r is

... (x -h)² +(y -j)² +(z -k)² = r²

Your sphere has center (-9, 4, 1) and radius 4, so its equation is

... (x +9)² +(y -4)² +(z -1)² = 16

This can be written in general form as

... x² + y² + z² +18x -8y -2z +82 = 0
