Medicine and Mathematics

Part A

Well if you look at the table give above you will see that the amount of insulin administrated is 10,00 micro units. So "half of the original dosage (10,00 Micro Units) , will be (5,00 Micro Units).

Looking at the table, it takes 15 minutes after the dosage of insulin is at half of the original dosage so at 5,00 Micro units.

Question 2.

In the equation y=10(0.95)x, 10 represent the units of insulin that started off in the bloodstream, and when the units of insulin reduce each minute, that value is multiplied with 0.95 to get the units of insulin after every minute. So
