A Dr. Prescribes 175 milligrams of a drug that decays by about 30% each hour. Write an exponential model representing the amount A in milligrams of the drug remaining in the patients system after 3 hours?

Answer 1

The exponential model representing the amount A in milligrams of the drug remaining in the patient's system after 3 hours can be written as:

A = 175(0.7)^3

Here, 0.7 represents the percentage of the drug remaining after each hour (100% - 30% = 70%). Since the drug decays for 3 hours, we raise 0.7 to the power of 3.

Evaluating the expression, we get:

A = 85.73 milligrams (rounded to two decimal places)
