Please answer the question and please answer correctly... I really need help
Veterinarians use different medications to treat dogs for fleas. Once administered, the medication typically decays exponentially. One treatment decays by half each week

A dog receives 4 ml of medication and the function f gives the number of ml of medicine left after w weeks

F(x) = 4(1/2)^w

Respuesta :

Answer:

The treatment decays by half each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay function is given by:

[tex]y=a(1-r)^{t}[/tex]

Here,

y = final value

a = initial value

r = decay rate

t = time

The decay function for one medications to treat dogs for fleas is:

[tex]F(x)=4\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{w}[/tex]

Here the decay rate is:

[tex]1-r=\frac{1}{2}\\\\r=1-\frac{1}{2}\\\\r=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The treatment decays by half each week.
