Answer:

<em>12 hours </em>are required to be less than 10 milligrams of caffeine in Faye's body

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Geometric sequences </u>

We can recognize a geometric progression, when we can get each member n as the previous member n-1 multiplied or divided by a constant value, called the common ratio.

Faye holds 120 milligrams of caffeine. We know each hour the amount of caffeine in her body will be 80% of the amount from the previous hour. For example, the first hour she will hold 80%(120)=96 milligrams of caffeine. Next hour it will be 80%(96)=76.8 and so on

We can see the sequence of contents of caffeine follows the rule of a geometric sequence and the common ratio is 80%, i.e. 0.8. The first term is 120, so the general term of the sequence is

a_t=120(0.8)^t\ ,\ t>=0

We are required to find how much time is needed to be less than 10 milligrams of caffeine remaining in Faye's body. It can be stated that

120(0.8)^t

Let's solve for t. Operating

(0.8)^t

Taking logarithms in both sides

ln(0.8)^t

Applying the power property of logarithms

t\ ln(0.8)

Solving for t. Since ln0.8 is negative, the direction of the inequality changes

t>\frac{ln\frac{10}{120}}{ln(0.8)}

t>11.14

Rounding to the next integer

12 hours are required to be less than 10 milligrams of caffeine in Faye's body
