Answer:

a. 8.1 milligrams

b. 40.07 hours

c. 8.859 milligrams

Explanation:

If a person takes a prescribed dose of 10 milligrams of Valium, the amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time can be modeled by

A_{t}=10e^{-0.0173t}

Where A(t) = amount of Valium remaining in the blood after t hours

t = time or duration after the drug is taken

a. we have to calculate the amount of drug remaining in the bloodstream after 12 hours

A_{12}=10e^{-0.0173\times12}

A_{12}=10e^{-0.2076}

                = 10×0.81253

                = 8.1 milligrams

b. In this part we have to calculate the time when A(t) = 5 milligrams

5=10e^{-0.0173\timest}

\frac{5}{10}=e^{-0.0173t}

0.5 = e^{-0.0173t}

Now we take natural log on both the sides of the equation.

ln(0.5) = ln(e^{-0.0173t})

-0.69314 = -0.0173t

t = \frac{0.69314}{0.0173}

t = 40.0658

 ≈ 40.07 hours

c. In this part we have to calculate the rate, by which amount of drug will decay in the bloodstream after 7 hours.

A_{7}=10e^{-0.0173\times7}

A_{7}=10e^{-0.1211}

              = 10×0.8859

              = 8.859 milligrams

What is the difference between plucking and abrasion
lutik1710 [3]
Abrasion takes place when stones become embedded in the glacier, as the glacier moves these stones slowly scratch along the surface of the ground below. Abrasian acts similarly to sandpaper, leaving a fairly smooth surface to the rock it has worn down.
Plucking takes place when the glacier has been fairly stationary for a while, so patches of rock from the ground below have become frozen to the glacier. When the glacier then moves, this patch of ground is forced out of the ground as it is attached to the glacier itself. As you can probably imagine, this leaves behind a much more jagged, uneven surface.

Which molecule is responsible for the wide diversity of life on earth?
Elden [556K]
A phylogeny is an evolutionary ”tree” of related
organisms that can be constructed by using
information obtained from the genetic material.
Genetic information is contained in all living cells,
in the form of long DNA molecules that take the
shape of connected double- stranded spirals
(DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA
spirals, or “helixes”, are tightly compressed in the
nucleus of every cell. Their information is
organized into a code made up of four small
molecules — the building blocks of DNA. The
molecules, called nucleotides, are labelled:
A (adenine), C (cytosine), G (guanine) and T
(thymine).
It is possible to draw conclusions about the
evolution of a group of plant or animal species,
and the relationships among them, by comparing
selected pieces of DNA.

The science community has taken the following stance on Global Climate change. "Climate change is the single biggest environment
Kay [80]

Answer:

Helper.

Explanation:

I will take the position of helper that work for the betterment of environment by reducing such activities that can increase the carbondioxide concentration in the atmosphere. The main reason for this position is the destruction and damages that occurs in the environment and to organisms that are present all around the world. This global warming leads to the extinction of these species so in order to protect them I choose this position.

24. A limiting factor for a field planted with corn every year is most likely -
Dafna11 [192]
A

Planting the same crop over and over again depletes the nutrients of the soil and it also allows any pests to get used to the soil. That’s why many people practice crop rotation.
