Answer:

  • 459 mg
  • about 20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay factor is 1 -25% = 0.75 per hour, so the exponential equation can be written ...

  r(t) = 1450·0.75^t . . . . . milligrams remaining after t hours

__

a) After 4 hours, the amount remaining is ...

  r(4) = 1450·0.75^4 ≈ 458.79 . . . mg

About 459 mg will remain after 4 hours.

__

b) To find the time it takes before the amount remaining is less than 5 mg, we need to solve ...

  r(t) < 5

  1450·0.75^t < 5 . . . . use the function definition

  0.75^t < 5/1450 . . . . divide by 1450

  t·log(0.75) < log(1/290) . . . . . take logarithms (reduce fraction)

  t > log(1/290)/log(0.75) . . . . . divide by the (negative) coefficient of t

  t > 19.708

It will take about 20 hours for the amount of the drug remaining to be less than 5 mg.

Compare square root of one hundred eighty and one hundred two eighths using &lt;, &gt;, or =.
olga2289 [7]

Converting the mixed number to a decimal, the correct comparison of the numbers is given as follows:

\sqrt{180} > \sqrt{100 \frac{2}{8}}

<h3>What is a mixed number?</h3>

A mixed number is represented by an integer part and a fractional part, as follows:

a b/c.

In which:

  • a is the integer part.
  • b/c is the fractional part.

In this problem, the numbers are given as follows:

\sqrt{180}, \sqrt{100 \frac{2}{8}}

The mixed number is:

100 and 2/8 = 100 + 0.25 = 100.25.

The square root is an increasing function, hence the higher the input, the higher the square root, as 180 > 100 the comparison is:

\sqrt{180} > \sqrt{100 \frac{2}{8}}

what is the inverse of the conditional statement? If a polygon the has five angles, then it is a Pentagon
den301095 [7]

Answer:  The inverse f the given statement is

"If a polygon is not a Pentagon, then it does not have five sides".

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to write the inverse of the following conditional statement:

"If a polygon the has five angles, then it is a Pentagon".

<u>INVERSE of a conditional statement :</u>

If the conditional statement is

"If p, then q",

then its inverse statement is given by

"If not q, then not p".

Therefore, the inverse of the given statement is

"If a polygon is not a Pentagon, then it does not have five sides".
