Adrug is eliminated from the body through urine. suppose that for a dose of 10 milligrams, the amount a(t) remaining in the body t hours later is given by a(t) = 10(0.7)t and that in order for the drug to be effective, at least 4 milligrams must be in the body.
a. determine when 2 milligrams is left in the body.
b. what is the half-life of the drug?

a - 4.512 hours

b - 1.94 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

a) A(t) = 10 (0.7)^t

To determine when 2mg is left in the body

We would have,

A(t) = 2, therefore

2 = 10(0.7)^t

0.7^t =2÷10

0.7^t = 0.2

Take the log of both sides,

Log (0.7)^t = log 0.2

t log 0.7 = log 0.2

t = log 0.2/ 0.7

t = 4.512 hours

Thus it will take 4.512 hours for 2mg to be left in the body.

b) Half life

Let A(t) = 1/2 A(0)

Thus,

1/2 A(0) = A(0)0.7^t

Divide both sides by A(0)

1/2 = 0.7^t

0.7^t = 0.5

Take log of both sides

Log 0.7^t = log 0.5

t log 0.7 = log 0.5

t = log 0.5/log 0.7

t = 1.94 hours

Therefore, the half life of the drug is 1.94 hours

don't give

take it once

try and try and you will not

happy to

pls mark as brainliest

no this is a nonlinear negative
