Explanation Given: The amount of medication in blood after n th dose is given by A n = m + m f + ⋯ + m f n − 1 . The value of f = 0.4 , m = 150 mg . Calculation: Evaluate the value of A 5 as follows. Substitute f = 0.4 , m = 150 mg and n = 5 in A n = m + m f + ⋯ + m f n − 1 as follows, A 5 = 150 + ( 150 ) ( 0.4 ) + ⋯ + ( 150 ) ( 0.4 ) 5 − 1 = 150 ( 1 + 0.4 + ⋯ + 0.4 4 ) = 150 ( 1 − 0.4 5 1 − 0.4 ) [ ∵ S n = a ( 1 − r n 1 − r ) where n = 5 and r = 0.4 ] = 150 ( 0.98976 0.6 ) = 247.44 Thus, the value of A 5 is 247.44. Evaluate the value of A 10 as follows. Substitute f = 0.4 , m = 150 mg and n = 10 in A n = m + m f + ⋯ + m f n − 1 as follows, A 10 = 150 + ( 150 ) ( 0.4 ) + ⋯ + ( 150 ) ( 0.4 ) 10 − 1 = 150 ( 1 + 0.4 + ⋯ + 0.4 9 ) = 150 ( 1 − 0.4 10 1 − 0.4 ) = 150 ( 0.99989 0.6 ) = 249.973 Thus, the value of A 10 is 249.973. Evaluate the value of A 30 as follows. Substitute f = 0.4 , m = 150 mg and n = 30 in A n = m + m f + ⋯ + m f n − 1 as follows, A 30 = 150 + ( 150 ) ( 0
