Geometric sequence general form: a * r^n
For Greg, we are given the elimination of the medicine as a geometric nth term equation:
200 * (0.88)^t
The amount of medicine starts at 200 mg and every hour, decreases by 12%;
To compare the decrease in medicine in the body between the two, it is useful to get them in a common form;
So, using the data provided for Henry, we will also attempt to find a geometric nth term equation that will work if we can:
As a geometric sequence, the first term would be a and the second term would be ar where r = multiplier;
If we divide the second term by the first term, we will therefore get r, which is 0.94 for Henry;
We can check that the data for Henry can be represented as a geometric sequence by using the multiplier (r) to see if we can generate the third value of the data;
We do this like so:
282 * (0.94)^2 = 249.18 (correct to 2 d.p)
We can tell that the data for Henry is also a geometric sequence.
So now, we just look at the multiplier for Henry and we find that every hour, the medicine decreases by 6%, half of the rate of decrease for Greg.
The answer is therefore that <span>Henry's body eliminated the antibiotic at half of the rate at which Greg's body eliminated the antibiotic.</span>
This would be a percent increase, so the formula would be:
New amount - Original amount / Original amount
Replace the numbers:
440 - 154 / 440
Simplify.
286 / 440
The chance would be 0.65, or 65%.
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
For the answer to the question above asking What is the measure of each angle formed if A 54-degree angle is bisected by a ray?
well bisect means to divide by 2
<span>so obviously if 54 is bisected it gives </span>
<span>54/2=27
</span>i hope this helps
<span>What number must you add to complete the square x^2 + 12x = -3?</span>
Make sure to always check your answers, by the way!
The answer is: (x + 6)² - 33
