Faye has a drink with 120 milligrams of caffeine. Each hour, the amount of caffeine in her body will be 80% of the amount from t

he previous hour.

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

Your Answer is correct, because for every rate of change the x-value (-1) is decreasing, and the rate of change f(x)-value (-3) is also decreasing. This gives you a -1/-3 rate of change (slope). Two negatives make a positive therefore the is at a constant rate of change (slope) of 1/3.

Keep in mind unfortunately I am not 100% sure, but this is what I think. Hope this helps a little!

<span>Answer: The multiplication factor of increase should be inverse of the multiplication factor of decrease.

    e.g. Say you have a number 100. You increase it by 25%. The multiplication factor is 5/4 i.e. when you multiply 100 by 5/4, you get 100*5/4 = 125. This is 25% more than 100. Now you want to decrease it by a certain % such that you get 100 back. Basically, 100*5/4 * x = 100 So x = 4/5 (inverse of 5/4) Hence, you decrease by 20% (the multiplication factor of 20% is 4/5) or Use this formula: cumulative % change = a + b + ab/100 You want the cumulative change to be 0. a + b + ab/100 = 0 If you know that you are increasing by 25% and want to find the % by which you should decrease to get the same number, 25 + b + 25b/100 = 0 5b/4 = -25 b = -20 So you need to decrease (hence you get the -ve sign) by 20%.</span>
