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

2. If ¡2x+3 = i, where i = V-1, then which of the
Alexus [3.1K]

I assume you mean the equation

i^{2x+3} = i

Since i = √(-1), we have i⁴ = 1 and so i⁵ = i. Then 2x + 3 must be some multiple of 5.

Now just check for which of the given choices that this holds:

x = 16   ⇒   2x + 3 = 35   (yes)

x = 11   ⇒   2x + 3 = 25   (yes)

x = 10   ⇒   2x + 3 = 23   (no)

x = 14   ⇒   2x + 3 = 31   (no)
