This problem shows another way of deriving the long-run ampicillin level. (See page 498.) In the long run the ampicillin levels off to Q mg right after each tablet is taken. Six hours later, right before the next dose, there will be less ampicillin in the body. However, if stability has been reached, the amount of ampicillin that has been excreted is exactly 250 mg because taking one more tablet raises the level back to Q mg. Use this to solve for Q.

On page 499, you saw how to compute the quantity Qn mg of ampicillin in the body right after the nth tablet of 250 mg, taken once every six hours. (a) Do a similar calculation for Pn, the quantity of ampicillin (in mg) in the body right before the nth tablet is taken. (b) Express Pn in closed form. (c) What is limn Pn? Is this limit the same as limn Qn? Explain in practical terms why your answer makes sense.

Figure 9.3 shows the quantity of the drug atenolol in the blood as a function of time, with the first dose at time t = 0. Atenolol is taken in 50 mg doses once a day to lower blood pressure. (a) If the half-life of atenolol in the blood is 6.3 hours, what percentage of the atenolol present at the start of a 24-hour period is still there at the end? (b) Find expressions for the quantities Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3, ..., and Qn shown in Figure 9.3. Write the expres

Draw a graph like that in Figure 9.3 for 250 mg of ampicillin taken every 6 hours, starting at time t = 0. Put on the graph the values of Q1, Q2, Q3,... introduced in the text on page 499 and the values of P1, P2, P3,... calculated in Problem 33.

Once a day, eight tons of pollutants are dumped into a bay. Of this, 25% is removed by natural processes each day. What happens to the quantity of pollutants in the bay over time? Give the long-run quantity right after a dump

(a) The total reserves of a non-renewable resource are 400 million tons. Annual consumption, currently 25 million tons per year, is expected to rise by 1% each year. After how many years will the reserves be exhausted?

Around January 1, 1993, Barbra Streisand signed a contract with Sony Corporation for $2 million a year for 10 years. Suppose the first payment was made on the day of signing and that all other payments were made on the first day of the year. Suppose also that all payments were made into a bank account earning 4% a year, compounded annually. (a) How much money was in the account (i) On the night of December 31, 1999? (ii) On the day the last payment was made? (b) What was the present value of the contract on the day it was signed?

Bill invests $200 at the start of each month for 24 months, starting now. If the investment yields 0.5% per month, compounded monthly, what is its value at the end of 24 months?

Peter wishes to create a retirement fund from which he can draw $20,000 when he retires and the same amount at each anniversary of his retirement for 10 years. He plans to retire 20 years from now. What investment need he make today if he can get a return of 5% per year, compounded annually?

In theory, drugs that decay exponentially always leave a residue in the body. However, in practice, once the drug has been in the body for 5 half-lives, it is regarded as being eliminated.4 If a patient takes a tablet of the same drug every 5 half-lives forever, what is the upper limit to the amount of drug that can be in the body?

This problem shows how to estimate the cumulative effect of a tax cut on a countrys economy. Suppose the government proposes a tax cut totaling $100 million. We assume that all the people who have extra money spend 80% of it and save 20%. Thus, of the extra income generated by the tax cut, $100(0.8) million = $80 million is spent and becomes extra income to someone else. These people also spend 80% of their additional income, or $80(0.8) million, and so on. Calculate the total additional spending created by such a tax cut.

(a) What is the present value of a $1000 bond which pays $50 a year for 10 years, starting one year from now? Assume the interest rate is 5% per year, compounded annually. (b) Since $50 is 5% of $1000, this bond is called a 5% bond. What does your answer to part (a) tell you about the relationship between the principal and the present value of this bond if the interest rate is 5%? (c) If the interest rate is more than 5% per year, compounded annually, which is larger: the principal or the present value of the bond? Why is the bond then described as trading at a discount? (d) If the interest rate is less than 5% per year, compounded annually, why is the bond described as trading at a premium?

The government proposes a tax cut of $100 million as in Problem 43, but that economists now predict that people will spend 90% of their extra income and save only 10%. How much additional spending would be generated by the tax cut under these assumptions?

. A ball is dropped from a height of 10 feet and bounces. Each bounce is 3 4 of the height of the bounce before. Thus, after the ball hits the floor for the first time, the ball rises to a height of 10( 3 4 )=7.5 feet, and after it hits the floor for the second time, it rises to a height of 7.5( 3 4 ) = 10( 3 4 ) 2 = 5.625 feet. (Assume that there is no air resistance.) (a) Find an expression for the height to which the ball rises after it hits the floor for the nth time. (b) Find an expression for the total vertical distance the ball has traveled when it hits the floor for the first, second, third, and fourth times. (c) Find an expression for the total vertical distance the ball has traveled when it hits the floor for the nth time. Express your answer in closed form

You might think that the ball in Problem 46 keeps bouncing forever since it takes infinitely many bounces. This is not true! (a) Show that a ball dropped from a height of h feet reaches the ground in 1 4 h seconds. (Assume g = 32 ft/sec2) (b) Show that the ball in Problem 46 stops bouncing after 1 4 10+ 1 2 10 3 4 1 1 3/4  11 second
