The concentration of a drug in a patient's bloodstream is given by the function C'(t) = 0.15t +²+0.81 where C(t) is the concentration in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) and t is the time in hours. When will the concentration be a maximum? Type your answer below rounded to the nearest tenth. The concentration will be a maximum at t = hours.
