to find the time at which only 1 mg remains, we must solve 1 = y(t) = 40(2−t/30), and so we get the following. t = −30 log2

To find the time at which only 1 mg remains, we need to solve the equation
\displaystyle\sf 1 = y(t) = 40(2-(t)/(30)), where
\displaystyle\sf t represents time.

Let's solve for
\displaystyle\sf t:


\displaystyle\sf 1 = 40(2-(t)/(30)).

Dividing both sides of the equation by 40:


\displaystyle\sf (1)/(40) = 2-(t)/(30).

Subtracting 2 from both sides:


\displaystyle\sf -(79)/(40) = -(t)/(30).

Multiplying both sides by 30:


\displaystyle\sf -(79)/(40) * 30 = -t.

Simplifying:


\displaystyle\sf t = -30 \log 2.

Therefore, the time at which only 1 mg remains is
\displaystyle\sf t = -30 \log 2.
