Answer :
Using an exponential function, it is found that the multiplier used to predict the amount of medication remaining 2 hours after the peak level is of 0.6889.
What is an exponential function?
A decaying exponential function is modeled by:
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t[/tex]
In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem, we have that the decay rate is of r = 0.17, hence:
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.83)^t[/tex]
After 2 hours, the multiplier is given by:
[tex]A(2) = A(0)(0.83)^2 = 0.6889A(0)[/tex]
