how many milligrams of the drug was given to the patient?

Question

The amount of a drug in a patient's body can be approximated by the formula y = 275 * (0.943) ^ x , where x is the number of hours since the drug was administered and y is measured in milligrams. how many milligrams of the drug was given to the patient?

Answer 1

275 mg of the drug was given to the patient

= y when x = 0

= y(0) = 275(0.943)^0 = 275(1) = 275 mg
