Pregnant women metabolize some drugs at a slower rate than the rest of the population. The half-life of caffeine is about 4 hour

s for most people. In pregnant women, it is 10 hours1. (This is important because caffeine, like all psychoactive drugs, crosses the placenta to the fetus.) If a pregnant woman and her husband each have a cup of coffee containing 110 mg of caffeine at 8 am, how much caffeine does each have left in the body at 7 pm?

Answer:

Husband:

The husband will have 16.35 mg of caffeine in his body at 7 pm.

Woman:

The pregnant woman will have 51.33 mg of caffeine in her body at 7 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of caffeine in the body can be modeled by the following equation:

C(t) = C(0)e^{rt}

In which C(t) is the amount of caffeine t hours after 8 am, C(0) is how much coffee they took and r is the rate the the amount of caffeine decreases in their bodies.

110 mg of caffeine at 8 am,

So C(0) = 110

Husband

Half life of 4 hours. So

C(4) = 0.5C(0) = 0.5*110 = 55

C(t) = C(0)e^{rt}

55 = 110e^{4r}

e^{4r} = 0.5

Applying ln to both sides

\ln{e^{4r}} = \ln{0.5}

4r = \ln{0.5}

r = \frac{\ln{0.5}}{4}

r = -0.1733

So for the husband

C(t) = 110e^{-0.1733t}

At 7 pm

7 pm is 11 hours after 8 am, so this is C(11)

C(t) = 110e^{-0.1733t}

C(11) = 110e^{-0.1733*11} = 16.35

The husband will have 16.35 mg of caffeine in his body at 7 pm.

Pregnant woman

Half life of 10 hours. So

C(10) = 0.5C(0) = 0.5*110 = 55

C(t) = C(0)e^{rt}

55 = 110e^{10}

e^{10r} = 0.5

Applying ln to both sides

\ln{e^{10r}} = \ln{0.5}

10r = \ln{0.5}

r = \frac{\ln{0.5}}{10}

r = -0.0693

At 7 pm

7 pm is 11 hours after 8 am, so this is C(11)

C(t) = 110e^{-0.0693t}

C(11) = 110e^{-0.0693*11} = 51.33

The pregnant woman will have 51.33 mg of caffeine in her body at 7 pm.

If G = {(-1, 7),(-8, 2),(0, 0),(6, 6)), then the range of G is
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

\{0, 2, 6, 7\}

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the relation G = \{(-1, 7),(-8, 2),(0, 0),(6, 6)\}

This means that

f(-1)=7\\ f(-8)=0\\f(0)=0\\f(6)=6

The input values of this relation are -1,\ -8,\ 0,\ 6, so the domain of this relation is \{-8,-1,0,6\}

The output values of this relation are 7,\ 2,\ 0,\ 6, so the range of this relation is \{0, 2, 6, 7\}

Make graph of y=4x-7​
maksim [4K]

Answer:

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2>You know that when x = 0, y = -7 (because y = 4(0)-7 = -7, or you just know the fact that the constant number shows the y-value of the y-intercept). Therefore, you can plot that point on the graph:</h2>
