Answer:
x = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A line parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides, divides those sides proportionally, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
8x = 60 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = = 7.5

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.
