Math 1010 Dr g Filtering Lab Name: Zk/.rlh,rih41N11

The purpose of this lab is to come up with a continuous model for exponential decay.

Dot assumes that her kidneys can filter out 25% of a drug in her blood every 4 hours. She knows
. that she will need to take a drug test for an interview in a couple of days. She plans on taking one
1000-milligram dose of the drug to help manage her pain.

- 1.) Fill in the table showing the amount of the drug in your blood as a function of time and round
each value to the nearest milligram. The first two data points are already completed.

complications might arise from having excess amounts in her system?

9.) Since there is a constant rate of decay, a continuous exponential decay model can be used to
determine how much drug is in her system at any time.

Exponential Decay Model

A(t) = Aoek'
Where A(t) is amount of drug in blood at time t in hours,
Ao is the initial amount of drug, and
k is the rate of decay (it will be a negative number)

You will have to find the actual value of k that works for this model. Write down the
exponential decay model for the amount of drug in Dot's blood as a function of time:

A 6, (tJ, JOOO)

Model:

Now use that model to fill in the following table:
