Answer:

Time(t) = 11.61 hours (Rounded to two decimal place)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The antibiotic  clarithromycin is eliminated from the body according to the formula:

A(t) = 500e^{-0.1386t}                 ......[1]

where;

A - Amount remaining in the body(in milligram)

t - time in hours after the drug reaches peak concentration.

Given: Amount of drug in the body is reduced to 100 milligrams.

then,

Substitute the value of A = 100 milligrams in [1] we get;

100= 500e^{-0.1386t}

Divide both sides by 500 we get;

\frac{100}{500}=\frac{ 500e^{-0.1386t}}{500}

Simplify:

\frac{1}{5} = e^{-0.1386t}

Taking logarithm both sides with base e, then we have;

\log_e (\frac{1}{5})= \log_e (e^{-0.1386t})

\log_e (\frac{1}{5})=-0.1386t         [ Using \log_e e^a =a ]

or

\log_e (0.2)=-0.1386t

-1.6094379124341 = -0.1386t

 [using value of \log_e (0.2) = -1.6094379124341 ]

then;

t = \frac{-1.6094379124341}{-0.1386}

Simplify:

t ≈11.61 hours.

Therefore, the time 11.61 hours(Rounded two decimal place) will pass before the amount of drug in the body is reduced to 100 milligrams

You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40.
koban [17]

You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?

 

First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!

 

In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32

In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40  

 

Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!

 

3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation  

-3X.        - 3X

 

Net result: Y= 32- 3X

 

Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable  

 

2X + 3(32-3X) = $40

2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation  

-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides  

-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7  

X= 8  

 

Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32

3(8) + Y = $32

24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides

y = 8

   

ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8

In the circle below, CD is a diameter. If AE=10, CE=4, and AB=16, what is
Naily [24]

Answer:

(D)9.5 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two chords CD and AB intersecting at E.

Using the theorem of intersecting chords

AE X EB =CE X ED

  • AE=10
  • CE=4
  • AB=16

AB=AE+EB

16=10+EB

EB=16-10=6

Therefore:

AE X EB =CE X ED

10 X 6 = 4 X ED

ED =60/4 =15

Therefore:

CD=CE+ED

=4+15

CD=19

Recall that CD is a diameter of the circle and;

Radius =Diameter/2

Therefore, radius of the circle =19/2 =9.5 Units
