Answer:

  19.44 hours, about 19 hours 26 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation that describes your caffeine level can be written as ...

  c(t) = 120·(1 -0.12)^t . . . . where t is in hours and c(t) is in mg

We want to find t for c(t) = 10, so ...

  10 = 120(0.88^t)

  10/120 = 0.88^t . . . . . . . divide by 120

  log(1/12) = t·log(0.88) . . . take logarithms

  t = log(1/12)/log(0.88) ≈ 19.4386

It will take about 19.44 hours, or 19 hours 26 minutes, for the caffeine level in your system to decrease to 10 mg.

Whats the slope form?
katen-ka-za [31]
The answer is in slope form : Y=1x+5

Reason: all you do is (rise/run) to get the slope. So take (5/5)=1x (slope). Also, your intercept is +5.

There are 3 consecutive integers twice the first is 20 more than the second. Find the largest number
Burka [1]
Let's say "n" is a natural number. {1,2,3,4,..} To ensure we have an even number we will multiply "n" by 2. Two times any number will make an even number.

consecutive even numbers are like; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 .. etc. Add +2 to the previous number to get the next consecutive.

1st even number = 2n
2nd even number = 2n + 2
3rd even number = 2n + 4

twice the first number (2n) is 20 more then the second (2n + 2).

2(2n) = 2n + 2 + 20

4n = 2n + 22

4n - 2n = 22

2n = 22

n = 11

Now use n = 11 to find the 3 consecutive even numbers.

1st even number = 2(11) = 22
2nd even number = 2(11) + 2 = 24
3rd even number = 2(11) + 4 = 26

22, 24, 26

At 12 noon in anchorage Alaska Janice noticed that the temperature outside was 12
Alisiya [41]
I assume that you want to know the temperature at a certain timing.
Well, you know that at 12:00 pm, the temperature was 12 F and that it decreases by a steady rate of 2 F each hour.

This means that at 1:00 pm, the temperature was 12-2 = 10 F
At 2:00 pm, the temperature was 10-2 = 8 F
At 3:00 pm, it was 8-2 = 6 F
.......and so on

You can follow this sequence to the timing you are looking for.
