Mathematics: 5. MEDICINE When doctors prescribe medication, they have to consider the rate at which the body filters a drug from the bloodstream. Suppose it takes the human body 6 days to filter out half of the Flu-B- Gone vaccine. The amount of Flu-B-Gone vaccine remaining in the bloodstream x days after an injection is given by the equation y = y(0.5), where y, is the initial amount. Suppose a doctor injects a patient with 20 ug (micrograms) of Flu-B-Gone. a. How much of the vaccine will remain after 1 day?

(i) 17.8 ug

(ii) 5 ug

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given as : $y=y_{0}(0.5)^{x/6}$

Initial Amount, $y_{0}=20ug$

(a) After One Day i.e. x=1

Amount Left, $y=y_{0}(0.5)^{x/6}=20(0.5)^{1/6}=20 X 0.8909 =17.8ug$

(b)After 12 days, x=12

Amount Left, $y=y_{0}(0.5)^{x/6}=20(0.5)^{12/6}=20 X 0.25 =5ug$
