Question

The concentration C in miligrams per milimeter (mg/ml) of a certain drug in a persons blood stream t hours after a pill is swallowed is modeled by C(t)=3+4t/1+t^3-e^-.001t. Estimate the change in concertration whe t changes from 30 to 40 minutes. 

The change in concentration is about blank mg/ml 

(type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed)

**Educational Content: Drug Concentration Over Time**

The concentration \( C \) in milligrams per milliliter (\( \text{mg/ml} \)) of a certain drug in a person's bloodstream after a pill is swallowed is described by the function:

\[ C(t) = 3 + \frac{4t}{1 + t^3} - e^{-0.01t} \]

where \( t \) is the time in hours after the pill is swallowed.

**Objective:**

Estimate the change in concentration as \( t \) changes from 30 to 40 minutes.

**Instructions:**

- Calculate the concentration at \( t = 0.5 \) hours (30 minutes).
- Calculate the concentration at \( t = 0.6667 \) hours (40 minutes).
- Determine the change in concentration by finding the difference between these two values.

**Result:**

The change in concentration is about \(\_\_\_\) mg/ml.

(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
