Acup of coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine. caffeine is metabolized and leaves the body at a continuous rate of about 12% every hour. a. write a differential equation for the amount, a, of the caffeine in the body as a function of the number of hours, t, since the coffee was consumed. b. use the differential equation to find da/dt at the start of the first hour (right after the coffee is consumed). use your answer to estimate the change in the amount of caffeine during the first hour.

a.

b.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need tot find a general expression for the amount of caffeine remaining in the body after certain time. As the problem states that every hour x percent of caffeine leaves the body, we must substract that percentage from the initial quantity of caffeine, by each hour passing. That expression would be:

Then, to find the amount of caffeine metabolized per hour, we need to differentiate the previous equation. Following the differentiation rules we get:

The rate is negative as it represents the amount of caffeine leaving the body at certain time.

its 4 because 2 times 2 is 4, if you double the number two you get four

answer:

125 yards

explanation:

75+50=125. that is my answer
