After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is modeled by the following function C(t) = 7(e−0.5t − e−0.6t), where the time t is measured in hours and C is measured in μg/mL. What is the maximum concentration of the antibiotic during the first 4 hours and when does it happen?
