a child takes 100 milligrams of an antibiotic that decreases by 30% per hour. give the equation that represents this data

1 answer:

7 0

The equation would be: y = 100(0.7)^x

This is an example of an exponential decay equation. They are in the form of y = ab^x.

A is the starting value.
B is the rate of change. In this case, we are using 0.7 or 70% because the amount is decreasing by 30%. 100% - 30% = 70%

I've tried out this question so many different ways and I haven't been able to get it. I put 320 ft/s into the original equation

Xelga [282]

The equation is s=144t - 16t², s being the distance and V=144 ft/s

a)The maximum (or minimum) is reached when the derivative of s = 0

s' = 144 - 32t = 0 and t= 9/2 or 4.5 second (time needed to reach the max
Now plug t= 4.5 in the original equation and you will find s = 324 ft

(Why it's a max and not a minimum: because 2nd derivative is negative and equals s" = -32)

b) Velocity of the ball: distance (up) s=320 ft, time that means:
320 =144t - 16t² (solve for x) -16t²+144t-320 = 0, t₁ =4 and t₂ =5 (t₂ is not valid since max time to reach summit is 4.5) so t =4s , distance = 320. so the velocity at 320ft is 320/4 = 80 ft/s

c) Due to the symmetry of the parabola, the velocity at 320 ft on its way down = 80 ft/s
