Question 471490: If a hospital patient is given 50 milligrams of medicine which leaves the bloodstream at 10% per hour, how many milligrams of medicine will remain in the system after 6 hours? Use the function A(t) = Iert. Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a hospital patient is given 50 milligrams of medicine which leaves the bloodstream at 10% per hour, how many milligrams of medicine will remain in the system after 6 hours? Use the function A(t) = Iert.
.
A(t) = Ie^(rt)
A(6) = 50e^(-.10*6)
A(6) = 50e^(-.60)
A(6) = 50e^(-.60)
A(6) = 27.44 milligrams
