The graph shows the amount of a medicine min milligrams, remaining in a patient's body hours after receiving an injection . The

amount of the medicine decreases exponentially
a.By what factor did the medicine decrease in the hour and a half?

b. By what factor did the medicine decrease in the first half hour?


—What about in the first hour?

C. Write an equation relating m, the number of milligrams of the drug in the patient's body, and hthe number of hours since the injection

An exponential function is a function defined by y = ab^x, where a represents the initial value, and b represents the rate

<h3>(a) The factor at which the medicine decreased, in 1.5 hour</h3>

From the graph, we have the following ordered pairs

(x,y) = (0,270) and (1.5,80)

Given that:

y = ab^x

At point (0,270), we have:

ab^0=270

a= 270

At point (1.5,80), we have:

ab^{1.5} = 80

Substitute 270 for a

270b^{1.5} = 80

Divide both sides by 270

b^{1.5} = 0.2963

Take 1.5th root of both sides

b =0.44

Hence, the medicine decrease in the hour and half at a factor of 0.44

<h3>(b) The factor at which the medicine decreased in the first half hour, and the first hour</h3>

In (a), we have:

The decay factor (b) to be 0.44

This represents the factor at which the medicine decreased throughout.

Hence, the medicine decrease in the first half hour, and the first hour at a factor of 0.44

<h3>(c) The exponential equation</h3>

In (a), we have:

a= 270

b = 0.44

So, the exponential equation is:

y =270 * 0.44^x

In terms of m and h, we have:

m =270 * 0.44^h

Hence, the equation relating m to h is m =270 * 0.44^h

Can you help me on this?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratio's to solve this

40        20

-----  = -----------

100       20 + y


Using cross products

40 * (20+y) = 20*100

Distribute

800 + 40y = 2000

Subtract 800 from each side

40y = 2000-800

40y = 1200

Divide by 40

y = 1200/40

y =30

Point C is the midpoint of a segment AB . What are the coordinates of point B, if: A(–1, 3), C( 1, –1)
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

(3,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the  midpoint, add the  x coordinates together and divide by 2

The x coordinate is

(x1+x2)/2

We know one point and the midpoint

( -1+x)/2 = 1

Multiply by 2

-1 +x = 2

Add 1

x =2+1

x=3

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the  y coordinates together and divide by 2

The y coordinate is

(y1+y2)/2

We know one point and the midpoint

(3+y)/2 = -1

Multiply by 2

3+y = -2

Subtract 3

y = -2-3

y =-5

The other endpoint is (3,-5)
