Drug Concentration When a drug is administered orally, it takes some time before the blood concentration reaches its maximum level. After that time, concentration levels decrease. When 500 milligrams of procainamide is administered orally, one model for a particular patient gives blood concentration C, in milligrams per liter, after t hours as C=2.65(e0.2te2t) What is the maximum blood-level concentration, and when does that level occur?
Flood Control A river is 8 feet above its flood stage. The water is receding at a rate of 3 inches per hour. Write a mathematical model that shows the number of feet above flood stage after t hours. Assuming the water continually recedes at this rate, when will the river be 1 foot above its flood stage?
New Equation of Change? The tax liability T in dollars, for a company that has an initial tax liability of 6200 is dTdt=0.02T. Here, t is time in years. What would be the equation of change for the tax liability if the initial tax liability were 7000?
Eastern Pacific Yellowfin Tuna Studies to fit a logistic model to the Eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna population have yielded N=1481+36e2.61t where t is measured in years and N is measured in thousands of tons of fish. a. What is the r value for the Eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna? b. What is the carrying capacity K for the Eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna? c. What is the optimum yield level? d. Use your calculator to graph N versus t. e. At what time was the population growing the most rapidly?
Marine Fishery One class of models for population growth rates in marine fisheries assumes that the harvest from fishing is proportional to the population size. For one such model, we have G=0.3n(1n2)0.1n Here G is the growth rate of the population, in millions of tons of fish per year, and n is the population size, in millions of tons of fish. a.Make a graph of G versus n. include values of n up to 1.5 million tons. b.Use functional notation to express the growth rate if the population size is 0.24 million tons, and then calculate that value. c. Calculate G1.42 and explain in practical terms what your answer means. d.At what population size is the growth rate the largest?
Population The table shows the mid-year populations (in millions) of five countries in 2015 and the projected populations (in millions) for the year 2025. (a) Find the exponential growth or decay model y=aebt or y=aebt for the population of each country by letting t=15 correspond to 2015. Use the model to predict the population of each country in 2035. (b) You can see that the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom are growing at different rates. What constant in the equation y=aebt gives the growth rate? Discuss the relationship between the different growth rates and the magnitude of the constant.
radioactive Decay These exercises use the population radioactive Decay. Radioactive Cesium The half-life of cesium- 37 is 30 years. Suppose we have a sample. (a) Find a function m(t)=m0et/k that mass remaining after t years. (b) Find a function m(t)=m0ert that models the remaining after t years. (c) How much of sample Will remain after 80 years? (d) After how many years will only 2 g of the sample remain?
