ee Cine Math 1010 Drug Filtering Lab Name: tecy fe bing 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.

Since there is a constant rate of decay, a continuous exponential decay model can b determine how much drug is in her system at any time. Exponential Decay Model Al) = Ae Where A(t) is amount of drug in blood at time t in hours, ‘Ag is the initial amount of drug, and k is the rate of decay (it will be a negative number) oe e used to 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: Model: A(k)= loove -0,08 192% Now use that model to fill in the following table: TIME SINCE AMOUNT OF TAKING DRUG THE DRUG (HR) | INHER BLOOD (MG) oO 1000 4 750 8 Del -2 12 A21. 8 16 Bio- Al 20 Lot 3h 24 (44.43 28 133.44 32 Joo +I 36 49.1 40 Ao. 4 44 7.24 48 ALS 52 2: He 56 (4.32 60 {3.2 64 {0-02 ite me 10.) __ Interpret the parameters of this exponential model in terms of the context of the problem.

Reflective writing: Did this project change the way you think about how math can be ‘applied to the real world? Write one paragraph stating what ideas changed and why. If this project did not change the way you think, write how this project gave further evidence to support your existing opinion about applying math. Be specific. On &~ por Afolio
