Finding steady states through sequences Suppose you take 100 mg of aspirin once per day. Assume the aspirin has a half-life of one day; that is, every day, half of the aspirin in your blood is eliminated. Assume dn is the amount of aspirin in your blood after the nth dose, where d1 = 100.
- a. Find a recurrence relation for the sequence {dn}.
- b. Assuming the sequence {dn} converges, find the long-term (steady-state) amount of aspirin in your blood.
41. Finding steady states using infinite series Solve Exercise 40 by expressing the amount of aspirin in your blood as a geometric series and evaluating the series.

- Math 2 question. thxarrow_forwardPlease help on this Math 1arrow_forward2. (5 points) Let f(x) = = - - - x² − 3x+7. Find the local minimum and maximum point(s) of f(x), and write them in the form (a, b), specifying whether each point is a minimum or maximum. Coordinates should be kept in fractions. Additionally, provide in your answer if f(x) has an absolute minimum or maximum over its entire domain with their corresponding values. Otherwise, state that there is no absolute maximum or minimum. As a reminder, ∞ and -∞ are not considered absolute maxima and minima respectively.arrow_forward
