Final answer:

The equation modeling the condition is : A_t = 20 mg * (0.5)^t/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation modeling the half-life of morphine can be represented as:

A_t = A0(0.5)^t/h

Where:

  • A_t is the amount of morphine remaining after time t
  • A_0 is the initial amount of morphine
  • t is the time passed
  • h is the half-life of morphine

If the half-life of morphine is 3 hours and the initial dose is 20 mg, the equation would be:

A_t = 20 mg * (0.5)^t/3
