Ben consumes an energy drink that contains caffeine. After consuming the energy drink, the amount of caffeine in Ben's body decreases exponentially. The 10-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is 0.2722. What is the 5-hour growth/decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body

The 5-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is of 0.1469.

Step-by-step explanation:

After consuming the energy drink, the amount of caffeine in Ben's body decreases exponentially.

This means that the amount of caffeine after t hours is given by:

In which A(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate, as a decimal.

The 10-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is 0.2722.

1 - 0.2722 = 0.7278, thus, . We use this to find k.

Then

What is the 5-hour growth/decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body?

We have to find find A(5), as a function of A(0). So

The decay factor is:

1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469

The 5-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is of 0.1469.

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

(3x-8) or (3x+8)
