the half life of a medication is the time it takes for the medication to reduce to half of its original amount in a patient's bl

oodstream. A certain antibiotic has a half-life of about 8 hours. a patient is administrated 500 miligrams of the medication. Write a function that models the amount of the medication in the patients bloodstream over time

R=S*0.5^(t/8) 
<span>R is the remaining amount </span>
<span>S is the starting amount (500) </span>
<span>0.5^ is for the HALF in half-life </span>
<span>t/8 show that every 8 ts (every 8 hours), it will be halved once </span>
<span>...so plug in 500mg for the general solution... </span>
<span>R=(500)*(0.5)^(t/8) </span>
<span>... plug in 24h to solve for after 24h </span>
<span>R=(500)*(0.5)^(24/8) </span>
<span>R=(500)*(0.5)^(3) </span>
<span>R=(500)*(0.125) </span>
<span>R=(0.0625) </span>
<span>...therefore there with be 0.0625 mg of the dose remaining</span>

Answer:

A(t)=500(0.5)^{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

Half life of an antibiotic is 8 hours so the sequence formed at every 8 hours showing the amount of drug in the blood stream will be

Time                                  0        8         16        32  

Concentration in blood 500    250     125     62.5

(in mg)

We can see from the table that the sequence formed is geometric in nature.

So the explicit formula for this sequence will be

A_{t}=A_{0}(r)^{t}

Where A_{t} = Amount of drug in the blood after time t hours

A_{0} = Loading dose

r = Common ratio of the sequence

t = time or duration

From this sequence r = \frac{250}{500}=0.5

Therefore, the explicit formula will be

A_{t}=500(0.5)^{t}

We can rewrite the formula in the form a function

A(t)=500(0.5)^{t}

If X is a r.v. such that E(X^n)=n! Find the m.g.f. of X,Mx(t). Also find the ch.f. of X,and from this deduce the distribution of
astraxan [27]
M_X(t)=\mathbb E(e^{Xt})
M_X(t)=\mathbb E\left(1+Xt+\dfrac{t^2}{2!}X^2+\dfrac{t^3}{3!}X^3+\cdots\right)
M_X(t)=\mathbb E(1)+t\mathbb E(X)+\dfrac{t^2}{2!}\mathbb E(X^2)+\dfrac{t^3}{3!}\mathbb E(X^3)+\cdots
M_X(t)=1+t+t^2+t^3+\cdots
M_X(t)=\displaystyle\sum_{k\ge0}t^k=\frac1{1-t}

provided that |t|.

Similarly,

\varphi_X(t)=\mathbb E(e^{iXt})
\varphi_X(t)=1+it+(it)^2+(it)^3+\cdots
\varphi_X(t)=(1-t^2+t^4-t^6+\cdots)+it(1-t^2+t^4-t^6+\cdots)
\varphi_X(t)=(1+it)(1-t^2+t^4-t^6+\cdots)
\varphi_X(t)=\dfrac{1+it}{1+t^2}=\dfrac1{1-it}

You can find the CDF/PDF using any of the various inversion formulas. One way would be to compute

F_X(x)=\displaystyle\frac12+\frac1{2\pi}\int_0^\infty\frac{e^{itx}\varphi_X(-t)-e^{-itx}\varphi_X(t)}{it}\,\mathrm dt

The integral can be rewritten as

\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac{2i\sin(tx)-2it\cos(tx)}{it(1+t^2)}\,\mathrm dt

so that

F_X(x)=\displaystyle\frac12+\frac1{2\pi}\int_0^\infty\frac{\sin(tx)-t\cos(tx)}{t(1+t^2)}\,\mathrm dt

There are lots of ways to compute this integral. For instance, you can take the Laplace transform with respect to x, which gives

\displaystyle\mathcal L_s\left\{\int_0^\infty\frac{\sin(tx)-t\cos(tx)}{t(1+t^2)}\,\mathrm dt\right\}=\int_0^\infty\frac{1-s}{(1+t^2)(s^2+t^2)}\,\mathrm dt
=\displaystyle\frac{\pi(1-s)}{2s(1+s)}

and taking the inverse transform returns

F_X(x)=\dfrac12+\dfrac1\pi\left(\dfrac\pi2-\pi e^{-x}\right)=1-e^{-x}

which describes an exponential distribution with parameter \lambda=1.

4+n divided by 43+n equals to 1/3 what is n?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

n = 15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+n)/(43+n) =1/3

3(4+n)= 1*(43 + n)

12 + 3n = 43 + n

3n - n = 43 - 12

2n = 31

n = 31/2= 15.5
