A medication with an initial concentration of 1. 5 milligrams per liter is administered to a patient, and the decay rate of the drug is 10% per hour. Which equation can be used to model
the concentration, C, of the drug in the patient’s body as a function of time, t, in hours since the
drug was administered?

Exponential decay model:

y

=

x

(

1

−

r

)

t

, half life of tablet is about

2

hours and after

t

=

3

hours , remaining drug on patient's system is

42.875

mg.

Step-by-step explanation: Initial drug

r

Exponential model:

y

=

x

(

1

−

r

)

t

=

125

(

1

−

0.3

)

t

=

125

⋅

0.7

t

Half life:

y

=

125

2

=

62.5

mg

∴

62.5

=

125

⋅

0.7

t

or

0.7

t

=

1

2

. Taking logarithm on both sides we get ,

t

log

(

0.7

)

=

log

(

0.5

)

∴

t

=

log

(

0.5

)

log

(

0.7

)

≈

The half life of tablet is about

2

hours.

After

t

=

hours , remaining drug on patient's system is

y

=

125

⋅

0.7

t

=

mg [Ans]

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
