If the amount of aspirin in her bloodstream decays exponentially, with one third being removed every 3 hours, find the amount A(t) of aspirin remaining in the bloodstream after/ hours. 31 A) A(t) =150 B) A(t) = 150 C) A(t) =150| D) A(1) =150 b. Water that is initially contaminated with a concentration of 9 milligrams of pollutant per liter of water is subjected to a cleaning process. The cleaning process is able to reduce ( 3 ), - be the concentration, the pollutant concentration by 25% every 2 hours. Let C(t) = 9 in milligrams of pollutant per liter of water t hours after the purification process begins. Find the concentration of pollutant in the water after 5 hours. Please round your answer to two decimal places. A) 2.14 mg/ B) 4.38 mg/l C) 0.0088 mg/l D) 0.28 mg/1 c. Using the function in part b, when will the concentration of pollutant be 5 milligrams per liter of…arrow_forwardQuestion 3 122 students at a college were asked whether they had completed their required English 101 course, and 79 students said "yes".
