Concept explainers
Caffeine After an individual drinks a beverage containing caffeine, the amount of caffeine in the bloodstream can be modeled by an exponential decay function, with a half-life that depends on several factors, including age and body weight. For the sake of simplicity, assume the caffeine in the following drinks immediately enters the bloodstream upon consumption.
37. An individual consumes an energy drink that contains caffeine. If 80% of the caffeine from the energy drink is still in the bloodstream 2 hours later, find the half-life of caffeine for this individual.

- Tracer Dye The amount of a tracer dye injected into the blood stream decrease exponentially, with a decay constant of 3 per minute. If 6 cc are present initially, how many cubic centimeters are present after 10 minutes? Here k will be negative.arrow_forwardPrinter Failure The lifetime of a printer costing 200 is exponentially distributed with mean of 2 years. The manufacturer agrees to pay a full refund to a buyer if the printer fails during the first year following its purchase, and a one-half refund if it fails during the second year. If the manufacture sells 100 printers, how much should it expect to pay in refunds? Choose one of the following.
