    The document describes using differential equations to model how alcohol concentration in the bloodstream declines over time for a person. It states that the rate of decline is proportional to the current alcohol level, and gives the proportionality constant k as 0.5. It then sets up and solves the differential equation to find that it will take this person approximately 1.4 hours for their alcohol concentration to decrease from 0.10% to 0.05%.

    1.

    Amount of alcohol in bloodstream A declines at a


    rate proportional to amount that is dA/dt = -kA. If
    k=.5 for a particular person, how long will it take for
    his alcohol concentration to decrease from .10% to
    0.05% ?

    Integrate both sides:

    Divide the first equation by the second equation:

    1.3863 = t2 - t1
    Rounded to the nearest tenth, t2 - t1 = 1.4 hr.
    2. Solve de inicial value problem
