The function m, defined by m(h) = 300 (34)h , represents the amount of a medicine, in milligrams, in a patient’s body. h represents the number of hours after the medicine is administered. What does the 300 represent?

the initial dose amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing that the equation is not quite presented correctly and that it should be something like m(n) = 300(3/4)ⁿ or m(n) = 300(34)⁻ⁿ

Otherwise the medicine would be piling up in the body at a tremendous rate and will probably kill the patient.

If my assumption is correct,

300 represents the initial dose amount.

This can be shown to be true by entering a time of zero into either of my optional alternates. The term in parenthesis becomes a factor of 1 meaning the full initial dose is in place. As time increases, the medicine decreased because of various degradations such as liver filtering, absorption by cells, etc.

The number in the parenthesis is a factor for the rate at which the medicine disappears.
