a) The amount of antihistamine in the blood decays exponentially as the kidneys and liver do their job and flush his from the bloodstream. Each hour some 7% of the antihistamine is cleaned out. (In truth, this depends on the age and health of the individual, 7% may be a little high but it is a reasonable number to use.) The model is given by A(t) = A.(0.93)' where Ao is the initial amount of antihistamine in the blood and t represents the time elapsed. (You should understand where this comes from.) %3D Use Excel to graph to the model (using Ao = 100%) and use this to estimate the time taken until 50% of the antihistamine is flushed from the body.
