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
What is the maximum blood-level concentration, and when does that level occur?

- Flood Control A river is 8 feet above its flood stage. The water is receding at a rate of 3 inches per hour. Write a mathematical model that shows the number of feet above flood stage after t hours. Assuming the water continually recedes at this rate, when will the river be 1 foot above its flood stage?arrow_forwardpH of calcium hydroxide Find the hydrogen ion concentration of a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide whose pH is 13.2arrow_forwardConstruction Costs The town of Foxton lies 10 mi north of an abandoned east-west road that runs through Grimley, as shown in the figure. The point on the abandoned road closed to Foxton is 40 mi from Grimley. Country officials are about to build a new road connecting the two towns. They have determined that restoring the old road would cost 100,000 per mile, while building a new road would cost 200, 000 per mile. How much of the abandoned road should be used as indicated in the figure if the officials intend to spend exactly 6.8 million? Would it cost less than this amount to build a new road connecting the towns directly?arrow_forward
