HELP PLS A medical team has found that the blood concentration of a particular medicine has a decay rate of 40% in 24 hours. How much of an initial dose of 1,000 mg of the medicine will be detected after 48 hours? Round to the nearest mg

360 mg of the medicine will be detected after 48 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^t

Where

P represents the initial dosage of the medicine.

A represents the final dosage of the medicine after t hours.

t represents the number of hours.

r represents the rate of decay

From the information given

P = 1000 mg

r = 40% = 40/100 = 0.4

The expression becomes

A = 1000(1 - 0.4)^t

A = 1000(0.6)^t

In 48 hours, t = 2

Therefore,

A = 1000(0.6)^2

A = 360

answer: ouch. thats difficult

step-by-step explanation:

irrational, cannot
