Designing exponential decay functions Devise an exponential decay function that fits the following data; then answer the accompanying questions. Be sure to identify the reference point (t = 0) and units of time.
23. Valium metabolism The drug Valium is eliminated from the bloodstream with a half-life of 36 hr. Suppose that a patient receives an initial dose of 20 mg of Valium at midnight. How much Valium is in the patient’s blood at noon the next day? When will the Valium concentration reach 10% of its initial level?

Initially, the solution contains 21 lb of salt. A salt solution with a concentration of 3 lb of salt per gal begins flowing into the tank at the rate of 3 gal per minute. The solution in the tank also begins flowing out at a rate of 3 gal per minute. Let y be the amount of salt present in the tank at time t. (a) Find an expression for the amount of salt in the tank at any time. (b) How much salt is present after 51 minutes? (c) As time increases, what happens to the salt concentration?arrow_forward
