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.

KIM [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

J = (1/3)M + 2 <=== ur expression would be : (1/3)M + 2

A = 2J - 5

if marcella is 63....

J = (1/3 * 63) + 2                              A = 2J - 5

J = 63/3 + 2                                    A = 2(23) - 5

J = 21 + 2                                        A = 46 - 5

J = 23 <== justin's age                   A = 41 <=== Aimee's age
