C(t)

Let's go through the parts step-by-step.

Part A: The rate of decay

The problem states that every hour, approximately 6% of the amount of caffeine in the body is metabolized and eliminated. In terms of the decay rate:

  • Rate of Decay: 6%

Part B: The initial amount of caffeine consumed

The problem states that a typical cup of coffee contains about 100 milligrams of caffeine.

  • Initial amount of caffeine: 100 mg

Part C: Write \( C \) as a function of \( t \)

Given that we are starting with 100 mg of caffeine and 6% is metabolized each hour, we can model the amount of caffeine in the body as follows.

If 6% is removed, then 94% remains after each hour. Thus, the caffeine remaining after \( t \) hours can be given by the function:

\[ C(t) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^t \]

Part D: Fill out the table

Now we will calculate \( C(t) \) for \( t = 0, 1, 3, 5 \).

  1. For \( t = 0 \): \[ C(0) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^0 = 100 \cdot 1 = 100 \text{ mg} \]

  2. For \( t = 1 \): \[ C(1) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^1 = 100 \cdot 0.94 = 94.00 \text{ mg} \]

  3. For \( t = 3 \): \[ C(3) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^3 \approx 100 \cdot 0.830584 \approx 83.06 \text{ mg} \]

  4. For \( t = 5 \): \[ C(5) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^5 \approx 100 \cdot 0.735091 \approx 73.51 \text{ mg} \]

Final Table

Now we can fill out the table based on our calculations:

| \( t \) | \( C(t) \) | |---------|------------| | 0 | 100.00 mg | | 1 | 94.00 mg | | 3 | 83.06 mg | | 5 | 73.51 mg |

If you have any more questions or further calculations needed, feel free to ask!

73.51 is wrong

Let’s recalculate the value of \( C(t) \) for \( t = 5 \) thoroughly to ensure accuracy.

The function we derived is: \[ C(t) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^t \]

For \( t = 5 \):

Using \( t = 5 \): \[ C(5) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^5 \]

Calculating \( (0.94)^5 \):

  1. Start with \( 0.94 \):
    • \( 0.94^2 = 0.8836 \)
    • \( 0.94^3 = 0.8836 \times 0.94 \approx 0.830584 \)
    • \( 0.94^4 = 0.830584 \times 0.94 \approx 0.778688 \)
    • \( 0.94^5 = 0.778688 \times 0.94 \approx 0.73057 \)

Now calculate \( C(5) \): \[ C(5) = 100 \cdot 0.73057 \approx 73.06 \]

So, rounding to the nearest hundredth: \[ C(5) \approx 73.06 \text{ mg} \]

Final Updated Table

Here’s the corrected table with accurate calculations:

| \( t \) | \( C(t) \) | |---------|------------| | 0 | 100.00 mg | | 1 | 94.00 mg | | 3 | 83.06 mg | | 5 | 73.06 mg |

I apologize for the earlier miscalculation. Thank you for your patience! If you need any more help, feel free to ask!

still wrong

Let's calculate the function \( C(t) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^t \) step by step again.

Function Recap

The caffeine amount in the body after \( t \) hours is described by the formula: \[ C(t) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^t \]

Calculating values

  1. For \( t = 0 \): \[ C(0) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^0 = 100 \cdot 1 = 100.00 , \text{mg} \]

  2. For \( t = 1 \): \[ C(1) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^1 = 100 \cdot 0.94 = 94.00 , \text{mg} \]

  3. For \( t = 3 \): \[ C(3) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^3 = 100 \cdot (0.94 \cdot 0.94 \cdot 0.94) \] \[ (0.94 \cdot 0.94) = 0.8836 \] \[ 0.8836 \cdot 0.94 \approx 0.830584 \] Now multiplying by 100: \[ C(3) \approx 100 \cdot 0.830584 \approx 83.06 , \text{mg} \]

  4. For \( t = 5 \): \[ C(5) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^5 \] Let's calculate \( (0.94)^5 \) again: \[ (0.94^2) = 0.8836 \] \[ (0.94^3) = 0.94 \cdot 0.8836 \approx 0.830584 \] \[ (0.94^4) = 0.94 \cdot 0.830584 \approx 0.778688 \] \[ (0.94^5) = 0.94 \cdot 0.778688 \approx 0.730691 \]

Now multiply by 100: \[ C(5) \approx 100 \cdot 0.730691 \approx 73.07 , \text{mg} \]

Final Updated Table

Here are the recalculated values:

| \( t \) | \( C(t) \) | |---------|------------| | 0 | 100.00 mg | | 1 | 94.00 mg | | 3 | 83.06 mg | | 5 | 73.07 mg |

I hope this resolves your concerns. Please verify these calculations, and let me know if there is any other way I can assist!

its still wrong, try harder

I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let’s carefully recalculate \( C(t) \) for \( t = 5 \) using the decay model with precision and ensure everything is correct.

Recap of the Decay Formula

The caffeine in the body is described by the formula: \[ C(t) = C_0 \cdot (1 - r)^t \] Where:

  • \( C_0 = 100 \) mg (initial caffeine amount)
  • \( r = 6% = 0.06 \) (decay rate)

Since \( 1 - r = 0.94 \), we can express the model as: \[ C(t) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^t \]

Calculating \( C(t) \)

  1. For \( t = 0 \): \[ C(0) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^0 = 100 \cdot 1 = 100.00 , \text{mg} \]

  2. For \( t = 1 \): \[ C(1) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^1 = 100 \cdot 0.94 = 94.00 , \text{mg} \]

  3. For \( t = 3 \): \[ C(3) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^3 \] Calculating \( (0.94)^3 \): \[ (0.94)^3 = 0.94 \times 0.94 \times 0.94 \approx 0.830584 \] Therefore: \[ C(3) = 100 \cdot 0.830584 \approx 83.06 , \text{mg} \]

  4. For \( t = 5 \): \[ C(5) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^5 \] Calculate \( (0.94)^5 \): \[ (0.94)^2 \approx 0.8836 \quad (\text{from before}) \] \[ (0.94)^3 \approx 0.830584 \quad (\text{from before, confirmed}) \] \[ (0.94)^4 = 0.94 \times 0.830584 \approx 0.77868856 \] \[ (0.94)^5 = 0.94 \times 0.77868856 \approx 0.7306916 \]

Now multiply by 100: \[ C(5) = 100 \cdot 0.7306916 \approx 73.06916 \approx 73.07 , \text{mg} \]

Final Table

Here’s the completed table based on the calculated values:

| \( t \) | \( C(t) \) | |---------|-------------| | 0 | 100.00 mg | | 1 | 94.00 mg | | 3 | 83.06 mg | | 5 | 73.07 mg |

Confirmation

The calculations have been conducted step-by-step, and rounding has been followed properly. Please let me know if there is a specific part that still seems incorrect or if you have a reference value that I am missing! Thank you for your patience!

its not 73.07

I apologize for any confusion caused by previous responses. Let's redo the calculation for \( C(5) \) to ensure we get the correct result. We will use the formula:

Caffeine Decay Formula

\[ C(t) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^t \]

Step-by-Step Calculation

Let's break down the calculations again carefully:

1. For \( t = 0 \): \[ C(0) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^0 = 100 \cdot 1 = 100.00 , \text{mg} \]

2. For \( t = 1 \): \[ C(1) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^1 = 100 \cdot 0.94 = 94.00 , \text{mg} \]

3. For \( t = 3 \): \[ C(3) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^3 \] Calculating \( (0.94)^3 \): \[ (0.94)^2 = 0.8836 \] Now, \[ (0.94)^3 = 0.94 \cdot 0.8836 \approx 0.830584 \] So, \[ C(3) = 100 \cdot 0.830584 \approx 83.06 , \text{mg} \]

4. For \( t = 5 \): \[ C(5) = 100 \cdot (0.94)^5 \] Calculating \( (0.94)^5 \) step-by-step:

  1. We already have \( (0.94)^2 \approx 0.8836 \).
  2. Next, \( (0.94)^3 \approx 0.830584 \).
  3. Then, \( (0.94)^4 = 0.94 \cdot 0.830584 \approx 0.778688 \).
  4. Finally, calculate \( (0.94)^5 = 0.94 \cdot 0.778688 \).

Calculating this: \[ (0.94)^4 \approx 0.778688 \] Now, multiplying: \[ (0.94)^5 \approx 0.94 \cdot 0.778688 \approx 0.73069152 \]

Now multiply by 100: \[ C(5) = 100 \cdot 0.73069152 \approx 73.069152 \approx 73.07 \text{ mg} \]

Let me calculate \( C(5) \) with perfect precision without approximating in the intermediate steps:

  1. \( 0.94 \times 0.94 = 0.8836 \)
  2. \( 0.8836 \times 0.94 = 0.830584 \)
  3. \( 0.830584 \times 0.94 = 0.77868856 \)
  4. \( 0.77868856 \times 0.94 \approx 0.730691452 \)

Final calculation: Now multiply by 100: \[ C(5) \approx 100 \cdot 0.730691452 \approx 73.0691452 \] Rounded to the nearest hundredth: \[ \boxed{73.07} \text{ mg} \]

Verification of \( C(5) \):

To ensure comprehensive accuracy, let’s instead compute using decimal precision step-by-step:

  • \( 0.94^5 = 0.830584 \cdot 0.94 \cdot 0.94 \)

I'm aware you stated that it's not 73.07 mg. If you have specific information or a reference value that you'd like me to align with, please share that, and I'll adjust the calculation accordingly. Thank you for your patience!
