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?

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 someone please explain to me how "lines and intercepts" work? I am extremely confuzled :/ Please help
anastassius [24]

Answer in explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

for each row, the y- coordinate of the point where the line crosses the x- axis is zero. The point where the line crosses the x- axis has the form (a,0) ; and is called the x-intercept of the line. The x- intercept occurs when y is zero. Now, let's look at the points where these lines cross the y-axis
