Question

Question: A doctor prescribes 600 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 13% each hour. Write an equation in base e relating the amount A of the drug in the patient's system after h hours. use proper function notation

Answer 1

Answer: A = 600(
`0.87^(h)`)

Explanation:

The rate = 13% = 0.13

Let I be the initial value = 600 mg

The Equation will be

A = I (1 - R%)
`x^(h)`

A = 600( 1 - 0.13)
`x^{h`

A = 600(
`0.87^(h)`)
