A medication is administered with a dose of 10 milligrams. After 3 hours there are 6.5 milligrams in the patient's system. What is the half life of the medication, in hours? Round to one decimal place.

The half-life of the medication, in hours, is 4.8 hours.

Given that,

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

The following formula should be used:

 Here

t denotes the time in hours i.e. 4

No means the Initial amount i.e. 10mg

Nt means Final amount after 3 hours i.e. 6.5 mg

So,

= 4.82

 = 4.8 hours

Therefore we can conclude that the half-life of the medication, in hours, is 4.8 hours.

4.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for half life is given as:

t½ = t × In(2)/In(No/Nt)

Where

t½ = Half life

t = time in hours = 4

No = Initial amount = 10mg

Nt = Final amount after 3 hours = 6.5 mg

t½ = 3 × In(2) /In(10/6.5)

t½ = 4.8271216522281 hours

Approximately = 4.8 hours

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
