Soon after taking an aspirin, a patient has absorbed 300 milligrams of the drug. If the amount of aspirin in the bloodstream decays exponentially, with half being removed every 2 hours, find, to the nearest 0.1 hour, the time it will take for the amount of aspirin in the bloodstream to decrease to 100 milligrams. hr

The number of viruses (V , measured in trillions or 10¹²) that infect a person is a function of the degree of immunosuppression (I, the fraction of the immune system that is turned off by stress) according to V(I) = 5I².

How high will the fever be if immunosuppression is complete (I = 1)?
