The formula D = 25 e -0.4h can be used to find the number of milligrams D of a certain drug that is in a patient's bloodstream h hours after the drug was administered. When the number of milligrams reaches 4, the drug is to be administered again. What is the time between injections? The time between injections is hour(s). (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Step 1
The formula given is \(D = 25e^{0.4h}\), where \(D\) represents the number of milligrams of a certain drug in a patient's bloodstream, and \(h\) represents the number of hours after the drug was administered. We need to find the time \(h\) when the drug's Show more…
