Question 6 • FL-1200330-Algebra 2 CR

Four days later, Lexi takes 10mg of the same medicine. How much medication, L, is in Lexi’s system on day t?

Answer
A
L = 10(1/2)t
B
L = 10(1/2)t + 4
C
L = 10(1/2)t – 4
D
L = 10(1/2)4t

Explanation

The new 10 mg dose is taken on day 4, so its decay time on day t is t − 4 days. Using the same half-life model, the amount from this dose is L = 10(1/2)^(t − 4). Choice C has the exponent shifted by 4 days.
