(a) 40 milligrams

(b)  1.21 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

It's commonly used to model real situations in life, like this one proposed in the question where the number of milligrams of a drug D(h) in a patient's bloodstream h hours after the drug is injected is modeled by the following function.

(a) The initial amount injected to the patient can be found when h=0

Initial amount: 40 milligrams

(b) Let's plug h=7

D(7) =40e^{-0.5(7)}=40e^{-3.5}=1.21

The amount in the bloodstream after 7 hours is 1.21 milligrams

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
