Geometric sequence general form: a * r^n
For Greg, we are given the elimination of the medicine as a geometric nth term equation:
200 * (0.88)^t
The amount of medicine starts at 200 mg and every hour, decreases by 12%;
To compare the decrease in medicine in the body between the two, it is useful to get them in a common form;
So, using the data provided for Henry, we will also attempt to find a geometric nth term equation that will work if we can:
As a geometric sequence, the first term would be a and the second term would be ar where r = multiplier;
If we divide the second term by the first term, we will therefore get r, which is 0.94 for Henry;
We can check that the data for Henry can be represented as a geometric sequence by using the multiplier (r) to see if we can generate the third value of the data;
We do this like so:
282 * (0.94)^2 = 249.18 (correct to 2 d.p)
We can tell that the data for Henry is also a geometric sequence.
So now, we just look at the multiplier for Henry and we find that every hour, the medicine decreases by 6%, half of the rate of decrease for Greg.
The answer is therefore that <span>Henry's body eliminated the antibiotic at half of the rate at which Greg's body eliminated the antibiotic.</span>
The environmental threat in Japan and Korea that threatens food security is: B. soil erosion.
<h3>What is Soil Erosion?</h3>
Soil erosion can be defined as the washing away of the top soil that supports plants growth and also contains vital nutrients for plants growth.
Crops are grown majorly on land. The disruption of soil nutrients by soil erosion poses a serious environmental threat to food security in both Japan and Korea. Therefore, the answer is: B. soil erosion.
