Exponential and Logarithmic Models · Exercise 33

Use this scenario: A doctor prescribes 125 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 30% each hour.

Write an exponential model representing the amount of the drug remaining in the patient’s system after hours. Then use the formula to find the amount of the drug that would remain in the patient’s system after 3 hours. Round to the nearest milligram.
