Question

After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is
modeled by the function
C(t)
6(e^-0.4t 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 12 hours? (Round your answer to four decimal
places.)

A water trough is 9 m long and has a cross-section in the shape of isosceles trapezoid that is 40 cm wide at the bottom, 80 cm wide at the top, and has height 40 cm. If the trough is being filed with water at the rate of 0.2 m³/min how fast is the water level rising when the water is 10 cm deep?
A tank initially contains 100 L of a well-mixed water-and-salt solution, with salt concentration of 20 kg in the solution. If the solution is exiting from the tank at a constant rate of 2 L per minute, what is the concentration of the salt (kilograms) in the solution at the point when the tank now only contains 50 L of the solution? Express your answers accurate to four decimal places.
A trough is 2 meters long and a cross-section has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid that is 20 cm wide at the bottom, 50 cm wide at the top, and has a height of 30 cm. If the trough is being filled with water at the rate of 0.1 m3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 20 cm deep? Express your answer in cm/min.
If a pesticide released during a dawn (6 am) crop spraying event is present at 55 mg/L in a pond beside the farmer’s field, and the concentration is 41 mg/L at 11 am, 27.5 mg/L at 6 pm, midnight, 14 mg/L at 6 am the next day. What is the rate constant for the degradation of this pesticide? I already asked this question and someone answered it, but they did not show how they got the rate constant. Please show the math so I can understand the process.
The population of Amoeba Proteus is known to grow at a rate proportional to the amount present in a culture that provides plenty of food and space. Initially, there were 250 amoeba, and after 7 hours 800 amoebas were observed in the culture. Determine the estimated time that it will take for the amoeba to increase to 2,500.
A particle moves on the line y = 2x + 1 in such a way that its x−coordinate changes at a constant rate of 4 units per second. A right triangle is formed by the vertical line from the particle to the x−axis, the line connecting the particle to the origin, and the x−axis. At what rate is the area of the right triangle changing when x = 4?
A container which has a shape of cone is full of sand. The container stands point down andhas a fixed top radius 5 cm and height 10 cm. Sand is pouring out of the container at a rate of 10 m3/min. When the depth of the sand is 8 cm., at what rate is the depth changing? Is it increasing ordecreasing?
A spherical snowball is melting in such a way that its diameter is decreasing at rate of 0.2 cm/min. At what rate is the volume of the snowball decreasing when the diameter is 17 cm.
A spherical snowball is melting in such a way that its radius is decreasing at a rate of 0.1 cm/min. At what rate is the volume of the snowball decreasing when the radius is 8 cm. (Note the answer is a positive number). The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 22 centimeters/minute while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 55 square centimeters/minute. At what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the altitude is 1010 centimeters and the area is 8484 square centimeters?
