Periodic doses Suppose you take a dose of m mg of a particular medication once per day. Assume f equals the fraction of the medication that remains in your blood one day later. Just after taking another dose of medication on the second day, the amount of medication in your blood equals the sum of the second dose and he fraction of the first dose remaining in your blood, which is m + mf. Continuing in this fashion, the amount medication in your blood just after your nth dose is An = m + mf + ⋯ + mfn−1. For the given values of :and m, calculate A5, A10, A30 and
43. ∫ = 0.25, m = 200 mg

- The Skydiver Again When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, her downward velocity, n feet per second, before she opens her parachute is given by = 176 1 0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since she jumped from the airplane. We found earlier that the terminal velocity for the skydiver is 176 feet per second. How long does it take for her to reach 90 of terminal velocity?arrow_forwardCompetition Two friends enjoy competing with each other to see who has the best time in running a mile. Initially before they ever raced each other, the first friend runs a mile in 7 minutes, and for each race that they run, his time decreases by 13 seconds. Initially, the second friend runs a mile in 7 minutes and 20 seconds, and for each race that they run, his time decreases by 16 seconds. Which will be the first race in which the second friend beats the first?arrow_forwardInvestments A man invests his savings in two accounts, one paying 6% and the other paying 10% simple interest per year. He puts twice as much in the lower yielding account because it is less risky. His annual interest is $3520 .How much did he invest at each rate?arrow_forward
