Answer:

The formula for the amount of caffeine, A mg, in the body t hours after drinking a cup of coffee can be given by:A = 100 * (0.17)^t


In this formula, 100 represents the initial amount of caffeine in the body after drinking the coffee, 0.17 represents the continuous rate at which caffeine leaves the body per hour (17% per hour), and t represents the number of hours that have passed since drinking the coffee.
