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 H= 2f over m+1, solve the equation for f
Viefleur [7K]
H = 2f / (m+1)
[multiply by (m+1)]
h(m+1) = 2f
[divide by 2]
f = (h (m + 1)) / 2

3b / (b+2) = 12 / (b+2)
[multiply by (b+2)]
3b = 12
[divide by 3]
b = 4

3 / (6x + 1) / 2 = 8 / (x + 4) / 3
[multiply both denominators to mike one denominator]
3 / 8(6x+1) = 8 / 3(x+4)
[expand brackets]
3 / (48x + 8) = 8 / (3x + 12)
[multiply by (48x + 8)]
3 = 8(48x + 8) / (3x+12)
[multiply by (3x+12)]
3(3x +12) = 4(48x + 8)
[simplify]
9x + 36 = 192x + 32
173x = 4
x = 4 / 173
