Suppose that the rate at which the concentration of a drug in the blood changes with respect to time t is given by C'(t)= c/(b-a)(be^(-bt)-ae^(-at)), t>=0 where a, b, and c are constants depending on the drug administered, with b>a. Assuming that C(t)=0 when t=0, find the formula for the concentration of the drug at any time t.

If a coffee filter is dropped, its velocity after t seconds is given by v(t)=4(10.0003t) feet per second. What is the terminal velocity, and how long does it take the filter to reach 99 of terminal velocity? Use a table increment of 0.1 and given your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.
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 ladder 5 meters long is leaning against a vertical wall. Due to the smooth floor, the foot of the ladder is sliding away from the wall. Let x be the horizontal distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall and y be the height of the top of the ladder from the floor. Determine when will the rate of change of y with respect to x be numerically equal to the negative of the current value of x?
If the instantaneous rate of change of ƒ1x2 with respect to x ispositive when x = 1, is ƒ increasing or decreasing there?
A potter forms a piece of clay into a cylinder. As he rolls it, the length, L, of the cylinder increases and the radius, r, decreases. If the length of the cylinder is increasing by 0.1 cm per second, find the rate at which the radius is changing when the radius is 22 cm and the length is 11 cm.
