Answer:

It will take approximately 3.34 hours for the drug to decay to 90% of the original dosage

Step-by-step explanation:

As suggested, we use the formula for exponential decay:

A(t)=A_0\,e^{-k\,t}

From the given information, the half life of the drug in blood id 22 hours, so that means that it takes that number of hours to go from the initial value A_0, to a final value equal to A_0/2. Using this information we can find the decay rate "k" by solving for this parameter in the formula, and using the natural log function to bring the exponent down:

A(t)=A_0\,e^{-k\,t}\\\frac{A_0}{2} =A_0\,e^{-k\,*22}\\\frac{A_0}{A_0*2} =e^{-k\,*22}\\\frac{1}{2} =e^{-k\,*22}\\ln(\frac{1}{2})=-k\,*22\\ k=-\frac{ln(\frac{1}{2})}{22} \\k=0.0315

Now we use this value for the decay rate "k" to calculate how long it would take to decay to 90% of the original dose;

A(t)=A_0\,e^{-0.0315\,t}\\0.9*A_0} =A_0\,e^{-0.0315\,t}\\\frac{0.9*A_0}{A_0} =e^{-0.0315\,t}\\0.9 =e^{-0.0315\,t}\\ln(0.9)=-0.0315\,t\\ t=-\frac{ln(0.9)}{0.0315} \\t=3.3447\,hours

Suppose that you are to make a rectangular box with a square base from two different materials. The material for the top and fou
saw5 [17]

Answer:

height = 14.5 ft

width = length = 3.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the square base is a and the height of the box is h.

The material required to make the box is equal to the total surface area of the box.

Area of base = a²

Cost of square base is $ 2 per ft²

So, the cost of making base = 2a²

Area of four walls + area of top = 2 (a² + ah + ah) + a² =  3a² + 2ah

Cost of making walls and the top is $ 1 per ft²

So, the cost of making walls and the top = 1 x ( 3a² + 2ah)

Total cost of making the box = 2a² + 3a² + 2ah = 5a² + 2ah

According to the question

144 = 5a² + 2ah

h = \frac{144-5a^{2}}{2a}     .... (1)

The volume of the box is V = length x width x height

V = a x a x h

V = 72 a - 2.5 a³     from equation (1)

Differentiate both sides with respect to a.

dV/da = 72 - 7.5 a²

Put, it equal to zero for maxima and minima

7.5 a² = 72

a = 3.2 ft

Put in equation (1)

h = \frac{144-5\times 3.2\times 3.2}{2\times 3.2}

h = 14.5 ft

So, the dimensions of the box are

height = 14.5 ft

width = length = 3.2 ft

The cost in dollars of producing x vehicles for a company is given by C(x)=1200x+5500
GarryVolchara [31]

The rate of change represents the <em>variable production</em> cost rate. The <em>production</em> cost is increased in 1200 units per each <em>additional</em> manufactured car.

<h3>Interpretation of a linear function</h3>

Let be C and x the production cost and the number of vehicles produced, it there is a <em>linear</em> relationship between the two variables, then we have the following formula:

C(x) = \dot r \cdot x + C_{o} (1)

Where:

  • C_{o} - Fixed production costs.
  • \dot r - Variable production cost rate.

In a nutshell, the rate of change represents the <em>variable production</em> cost rate. The <em>production</em> cost is increased in 1200 units per each <em>additional</em> manufactured car. \blacksquare

Zolol [24]

Answer:

e. 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, a certain quantity of goods was supplied while a specific quantity of goods was sold per week. In a given week, if the number of proportion sold is X, therefore:

f(x) = {Γ(4+2)/Γ(4)Γ(2) x^3 (1-x), 0≤x≤1 ; 0, elsewhere

and

P(X greater than 0.9) =  \int\limits^1_ {0.9} \, 20(x^{3} - x^{4}) dx = 20*{(y^4/4)[1,0.9] - (y^5/5)[1,0.9]} = 20*{(0.25 - 0.164) - (0.20 - 0.118)}  = 20*{0.086 - 0.0819} = 20*0.0041 = 0.082

Therefore the probability of the proportion sold is approximately 0.082

What is the radius of a circle given by equation x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y - 47 = 0
Lera25 [3.4K]
X^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y - 47 = 0
x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y = 47
(x^2 - 2x) + (y^2 + 8y) = 47
(x^2 - 2(1)x) + (y^2 + 2(4)y) = 47
(x^2 - 2(1)x + 1^2) + (y^2 + 2(4)y + 4^2) = 47 + 1^2 + 4^2
(x - 1)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 64 = 8^2
