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?
Minimum Cost A manufacturer of lighting fixtures has daily production costs of C=80010x+0.25x2, where C is the total cost (in dollars) and x is the number of units produced. What daily production number yields a minimum cost?
Colonial Population The table shows the colonial population estimates of the American colonies for each decade from 1700 through 1780. Let y represent the population in the year t, with t=0 corresponding to 1700. (a) Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find an exponential model for the data. (b) Use the regression feature of the graphing utility to find a quadratic model for the data. (c) Use the graphing utility to plot the data and the models from parts (a) and (b) in the same viewing window. (d) Which model is a better fit for the data? Would you use this model to predict the population of the United States in 2020? Explain your reasoning.
Ventilation Rate In Exercise 21 and 22, use the model y=80.411lnx,100x1500 which approximates the minimum required ventilation rate in terms of the air space per child in a public school classroom. In the model, x is the air space (in cubic feet) per child and y is the ventilation rate (in cubic feet per minute) per child. Use a graphing utility to graph the model and approximate the required ventilation rate when there are 300 cubic feet of air space per child.
