Using an exponential function, it would take 824 minutes before the amount of medication in Aldi's bloodstream is effectively 0.
How to determine the time
A decaying exponential function is given as;
[tex]A(t) = A(0)e^-kt[/tex]
Where A = initial value
k = decay constant
We have the half-life of amoxicillin as 62minutes, to determine k, we get
[tex]A(62) = 0. 5(0)[/tex]
[tex]A(62) = 0.5A(0)[/tex]
[tex]0. 5A(0) = A(0) e^{-62k}[/tex]
Solve the exponential function thus
[tex]e^{-62k} = 0. 5[/tex]
㏑ [tex]e^{-62k}[/tex] = ㏑ 0. 5
- 62k = ㏑ 0.5
Make k subject of formula
k = -㏑[tex]\frac{0. 5}{62}[/tex]
k = 0. 011179
The equation is given by
[tex]A(t) = A(0)e^-0.011179[/tex]
We have
[tex]0. 0001A(0) = A(0)e^-0.01179[/tex]
[tex]e^-0.011179t = 0. 0001[/tex]
㏑ [tex]e^-0.011179[/tex] = ㏑ 0.0001
[tex]-0.011179t = In 0.0001[/tex]
t = [tex]-\frac{In 0. 0001}{0. 011179}[/tex]
t = [tex]824[/tex]
Therefore, it would take 824 minutes before the amount of medication in Aldi's bloodstream is effectively 0.
