After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is modeled by the function C(t) = 5(e-0.4t - e-0.6t) where the time t is measured in hours and C is measured in ug/mL. What is the maximum concentration of the antibiotic during the first 12 hours? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) pg/mL
