This morning Haidar noticed that her dog, Aldi, seemed unwell. She took him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with an ear infection. The veterinarian prescribed an antibiotic called amoxicillin to help Aldi feel better. Haidar will give Aldi 150 mg of the antibiotic once each day for 10 days. Each time Haidar gives Aldi his next dose of medication, 40% of the previous dose remains in his bloodstream. Use what you know about recursive sequences and iteration to explore the mathematics related to this scenario. 1. Determine the amount of medication that is in Aldi's bloodstream after Haidar gives him each of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th doses of amoxicillin. Show your work.
