- 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?arrow_forwardHeight of a Ball If a ball is thrown directly upward with a velocity of 40 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y=40t16t2 . What is the maximum height attained bythe ball?arrow_forwardTravel Time You are driving on a Canadian freeway to a town that is 500 kilometers from your home. After 30 minutes, you pass a freeway exit that you know is 50 kilometers from your home. Assuming that you continue at the same constant speed, how long does the entire trip take?arrow_forward
- Forensics At 8:30 A.M., a coroner went to the home of a person who had died during the night. In order to estimate the time of death, the coroner took the person’s temperature twice. At 9:00 A.M. the temperature was 85.7F, and at 11:00 A.M. the temperature was 82.8F. From these two temperatures, the coroner was able to determine that the time elapsed since death and the body temperature were related by the formula t=10lnT7098.670 where t is the time in hours elapsed since the person died and T is the temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) of the person’s body. (This formula comes from a general cooling principle called Newton’s Law of Cooling. It uses the assumptions that the person had a normal body temperature of 98.6F at death and that the room temperature was a constant 70F.) Use the formula to estimate the time of death of the person.arrow_forwardSize of High Schools The farm population has declined dramatically in the years since World War II, and with that decline, rural school districts have been faced with consolidating in order to be economically efficient. One researcher studied data from the early 1960s on expenditures for high schools ranging from 150 to 2400 in enrollment. He considered the cost per pupil as a function of the number of pupils enrolled in the high school, and he found the approximate formula C=7430.402n+0.00012n2 where n is the number of pupils enrolled and C is the cost, in dollars, per pupil. a. Make a graph of C versus n. b. What enrollment size gives a minimum per-pupil cost? c. If a high school had an enrollment of 1200, how much in per-pupil cost would be saved by increasing enrollment to the optimal size found in part b?arrow_forward
