Problema Solution

Before a series of x-rays are taken, a patient is injected with a special contrast mixture that highlights obstructions in his blood vessels. The amount of the original dose of contrast material remaining in the patient's bloodstream h hours after it is injected is given by h-3/2. How much of the contrast material remains in the patient's bloodstream 9 hours after the injection?

Answer provided by our tutors

The amount of the original dose of contrast material remaining in the patient's bloodstream =  h = -3/2

 

after injection increased by 9 hours

 

 

so , the contrast material remains in the patient's bloodstream 9 hours after the injection

= 9 + (-3/2)

= 9-3/2

= (18 -3)/2

=15/2

=7.5 houre
