Can you help me solve? 

b. C. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is a type of cholesterol that blocks the blood vessels and increases the risk for heart disease. A patient with high LDL cholesterol was treated with medication and put on a strict diet for 12 months. The function C(t) models the patient's LDL cholesterol over time, t, in months. C(t) = 124(²) ² + 68 What was the patient's LDL cholesterol at the start of the treatment? a. What was the patient's LDL cholesterol after 12 months of treatment? Use mathematics to describe how the patient's LDL cholesterol is changing over time. Be as descriptive as possible.

Expert Solution
Step 1

NOTE: Refresh your page if you can't see any equations.

.

C\left(t\right)=124\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^t+68

to find the initial LDL cholesterol, take t=0

C\left(0\right)=124\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^0+68

C(0)=124\cdot 1+68

C(0)=124+68

C(0)= {\color{Red} 192}.................answer(a)
