PLEASE HELP ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO FIRST CORRECT ANSWER An adult can take 400 mg of ibuprofen. Each hour, the amount of ibuprofen decreases by 25%.
a. Write an equation of this exponential situation for the total amount of ibuprofen, y, in terms of the number of hours, x.

b. Does this situation represent exponential growth or decay? Explain how you know.

a) y = 400(0.75) ^x

b) Exponential Decay

Step-by-step explanation:

An adult can take 400 mg of ibuprofen. Each hour, the amount of ibuprofen decreases by 25%.

a. Write an equation of this exponential situation for the total amount of ibuprofen, y, in terms of the number of hours, x.

This situation above is an exponential decay situation.

The forms is given as

y = a(1 - r) ^x

Where

y = the total amount of ibuprofen

a = initial amount of ibuprofen = 400mg

r = Decay rate = 25%

x = Time in hours

Hence, the Equation is written as

y = 400(1 - 0.25) ^x

y = 400(0.75)^x

b. Does this situation represent exponential growth or decay? Explain how you know

This situation represents an exponential decay because we are told in the question that each hour, the amount of ibuprofen DECREASES by 25%. Decrease in this context means Decay.

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
