To model the concentration of the medicine in the bloodstream over time, we can use the formula for exponential decay. The concentration drops by \(30\%\) each hour, which means that \(70\%\) of the concentration remains after each hour.
Initially, the concentration \(C(0)\) is \(120\) milligrams per liter. After \(t\) hours, the concentration can be calculated as follows:
\[
C(t) = C(0) \times (1 - r)^t
\]
where \(r\) is the decay rate. Given that the concentration drops by \(30\%\), we have:
\[
r = 0.30
\]
Thus, \(1 - r = 0.70\). Plugging in the initial concentration:
\[
C(t) = 120 \times (0.70)^t
\]
This gives us the function for the concentration of the medicine in the bloodstream \(t\) hours after the injection:
\[
C(t) = 120 \times (0.70)^t
\]
This equation will allow you to find the concentration of the medicine at any given hour \(t\) after injection.
