When people take a certain drug, the drug is metabolised and eliminated at a certain rate. Suppose the initial amount of a drug in the body is 200 mg and is eliminated at a rate of 30% per hour. Which equation describes the decrease in the amount of drug over time? Where: X(t) is the amount of drug at time (t) t is the time in hours Select one: a. X(t) = 200 (1.3)t b. X(t) = 200 (0.7)t c. X(t) = 200 (0.3)t d. X(t) = 200 (t)0.7

The table shows the mid-year populations (in millions) of five countries in 2015 and the projected populations (in millions) for the year 2025. (a) Find the exponential growth or decay model y=aebt or y=aebt for the population of each country by letting t=15 correspond to 2015. Use the model to predict the population of each country in 2035. (b) You can see that the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom are growing at different rates. What constant in the equation y=aebt gives the growth rate? Discuss the relationship between the different growth rates and the magnitude of the constant.
