A dog receives 4 mL of medication and the function f gives the number of mL of medicine left after w weeks. 1. Find the amount of medication in the dog's bloodstream 1 week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks after it is administered. 2. Write an expression to represent the amount of medication in its bloodstream 1 day after it is administered. 3. Explain what f () means in this context.arrow_forwardEspañol Suppose that the credit remaining on a phone card (in dollars) is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of - 0.12. See the figure below. There is $32.40 in credit remaining on the card after 20 minutes of calls. How much credit will there be after 33 minutes of calls? Aa Remaining credit 32.40 ? (in dollars) 20 Calling time (in minutes)arrow_forward
