We have been studying half-life.... well all drugs have a half-life. We are going to work with the half-life of a drug that most of you are familiar with (some on an everyday basis!). A cup (8 oz) of coffee contains approximately 96 mg of caffeine. When you drink the coffee, the caffeine is absorbed into the bloodstream and is eventually metabolized by the body. Every 5 hours the amount of caffeine present in the body is reduced by one-half. Write an equation that describe the amount of caffeine, C(t), in mg, present in the body after t hours. Draw a graph of the equation in #1. Determine how much caffeine is present in the body after 21/2 hours. Show or explain how you determined this. When will the amount of caffeine in the body be equal to 12 mg? Show or explain how you determined this. When will you have exactly zero caffeine in the body? Explain ........ Why do you think this is good information to know?
