The equation to model Exponential Decay is: y = a[1 – r)
y= total amount
a= starting amount
r= the growth rate as a decimal
t= number of growth periods
Question 1 (1 point)
Sarah takes 550 mg of an antibiotic. Every hour,
her body breaks down 25% of the remaining drug.
How much will be left after 12 hours?

Guys help me please I really don’t understand this

I will give some hints. We know most values, we have to solve for y as that is the remaining amount.

y = We have to find.

a = 550 mg (She takes this much)

r = 0.25 (This is 25% as a decimal, don't forget to subtract 1)

t = 12 (This is because over the 12 hours, each hour it breaks down so (12 hours total * 1 hour periods) gives us 12 periods.

I hope this helps!

answer:

3 bags of apples and 2 bags of oranges.

step-by-step explanation:

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
