Question 6

A patient is given a 50 mg dose of medicine. The medicine's effectiveness decreases every hour at a constant rate of 40%. What is the exponential decay function that models this scenario? How much medicine will be left in the patient's system after 2 hours?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

f(x) = 50(0.60)x; 18 mg

Question 7

Use the graph of the exponential growth functionf(x) = a(2x) to determine which statement is true.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

f(0) = 3 when a = 3.
