A cup of coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine. Caffeine is metabolized and leaves the body at a continuous rate of about 12%

every hour. a. Write a differential equation for the amount, A, of the caffeine in the body as a function of the number of hours, t, since the coffee was consumed. b. Use the differential equation to find dA/dt at the start of the first hour (right after the coffee is consumed). Use your answer to estimate the change in the amount of caffeine during the first hour.

Answer:

a. A = C_{0}(1-x)^t\\x: percentage\ of \ caffeine\ metabolized\\

b. \frac{dA}{dt}= -11.25 \frac{mg}{h}

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:

A= C_{0}(1-x)^t\\t: time \ in \ hours\\x: percentage \ of \ caffeine\ metabolized\\

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

\frac{dA}{dt} =C_{0}(1-x)^t \ln (1-x)\\\frac{dA}{dt} =100*0.88\ln(0.88)\\\frac{dA}{dt} =-11.25 \frac{mg}{h}

The rate is negative as it represents the amount of caffeine leaving the body at certain time.

How many times greater is the value of 3 in 300 than the value of the 3 in 30
Vikki [24]
Well it sounds like you mean smaller, not greater. 3/300 = 1/100 while 3/30 = 1/10. So 3 out of 300 is 10 times SMALLER than 3 out of 30.

Solve the equation for the indicated variable.<br>1. y= 3/8 (x+4) for x​
madam [21]

Answer:

x=8y/3-4

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to do to solve for X into re arrange the equation so that X is by itself on one side of the equation.  To start we will divide both sides by 3/8 to move it away from the X side and we get

8y/3=x+4 then we will subtract both sides by 4 to get x all by itself

8y/3-4=x

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!

Find the surface area of the rectangular prism
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

185.68 cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

SA = 2 (L x W) + 2 (L x H) + 2 (W x H)

     = 2 (8.2 x 3.4) + 2 (8.2 x 5.6) + 2 (3.4 x 5.6)

     = 2 (27.88)      + 2 (45.92)      + 2 (19.04)

     =     55.76       +     91.84         +     38.08

     SA = 185.68 cm3

Convert 4500g to kilograms
Mazyrski [523]
To convert it to kilograms, you just divide by 1000 because 1000 grams are in a kilogram, so 4500 ÷ 1000 = 4.5kg. I hope this helps!
