5. The half-life of a particular drug is 6 hours. When given an adult dosage, the following function can be used to model the amount of drugs, d, in an adult's system over time t in hours: A(t)=50(0.5) What would be a suitable domain and range to view only the important features of this graph? Explain your reasoning.
