Solve the problem.The concentration of alcohol in a person's blood is measurable. Suppose that the risk R (given as a percent) of having an accident while driving a car can be modeled by the equation R = 5ekxwhere x is the variable concentration of alcohol in the blood and k is a constant.(a) Suppose that a concentration of alcohol in the blood of 0.07 results in a 12% risk
of an accident. Find the constant k in the equation.(b) Using this value of k, what is the risk if the concentration is 0.012?(c) Using the same value of k, what concentration of alcohol corresponds to a risk of 100%?(d) If the law asserts that anyone with a risk of having an accident of 12 or more
should not have driving privileges, at what concentration of alcohol in the blood should a driver be arrested and charged with a DUI?
What will be an ideal response?
(a) | k = 12.51 |
(c) 0.24
(d) 0.07
