When a certain drug is taken orally, the concentration of the drug in the patient's bloodstream After t minutes is given by C(t)=0.06t0.0002t2 where 0t240 and concentration is measured in mg/L .When is the maximum serum concentration reached, and what is that maximum concentration?
The population of a lake of fish is modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=16,1201+25e0.75t, where t is time inyears. To the unrest hundredth, how manyyears will it take the lake to reach 80% of its carrying capacity?For the following exercises, use a graphing utility to create a scatter diagram of the data given in the table.Observe the shape of the scatter diagram to determine whether the data is best described by an exponential,logarithmic, or logistic model. Then use the appropriate regression feature to find an equation that models thedata. When necessary, round values to five decimal places.
