A patient receives regular doses of 200 ml every 6 hours. The half-life of the medication is 6 hours. a a) Use the equation L where a is the dosage, p is the percent that remains in the bloodstream, %3D 1- p to calculate L, the amount that the medication levels off to. b) Use the equation A(n) = (a - L) · p"- dosage amount, L is what the medication levels off to and p is the percent that remains, to calculate the 1 + L, where A(n) is the amount after n doses, a is the | amount of medication in the bloodstream after 4 doses.

Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
Transcribed Image Text:A patient receives regular doses of 200 ml every 6 hours. The half-life of the medication is 6 hours.
a
a) Use the equation L
where a is the dosage, p is the percent that remains in the bloodstream,
=
1 p
to calculate L, the amount that the medication levels off to.
b) Use the equation A(n) = (a - L) · p"
dosage amount, L is what the medication levels off to and p is the percent that remains, to calculate the
n-1
+ L, where A(n) is the amount after n doses, a is the
amount of medication in the bloodstream after 4 doses.
