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?
Maximum Profit The profit P (in hundreds of dollars) that a company makes depends on the amount x (in hundreds of dollars) the company spends on advertising according to the model P=230+20x0.5x2. What expenditure for advertising yields a maximum profit?
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.
