Using exponential functions, it is found that:
a) Since the <u>amount of caffeine will be less than 50 mg</u>, the patient will be ready for the blood test by 6 a.m.
b) The patient could have ingest 231 milligrams of caffeine.
A decaying <em>exponential function</em> is modeled by:

In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem:
- Caffeine metabolize at a rate of 13% per hour, hence
.
Then:



Item a:
The coffee cup contains 150 milligrams of caffeine, hence
.
At 6 a.m., it is 8 hours after drinking the coffee, hence we have to find A(8).



Since the <u>amount of caffeine will be less than 50 mg</u>, the patient will be ready for the blood test by 6 a.m.
Item b:
This A(0), considering <u>A(11) = 50</u>, hence:



The patient could have ingest 231 milligrams of caffeine.

Answer:
The area of the new rectangle is 882 in².
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l be the length and w be the width of the original rectangle,
So, the area of the original rectangle is,
A = l × w ( Area of a rectangle = Length × Width )
Given, A = 72 in²,
⇒ lw = 72 ------- (1),
Since, if the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5,
⇒ New length = 3.5 l,
And, new width = 3.5 w,
Thus, the area of the new rectangle = 3.5l × 3.5w

( From equation (1) ),
= 882 in²
