Antibiotic dosing The amount of an antibiotic (in mg) in the blood t hours after an intravenous line is opened is given by
- a. Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show the amount of drug is 30 mg at some time in the interval [0, 5] and again at some time in the interval [5, 15].
- b. Estimate the times at which m = 30 mg.
- c. Is the amount of drug in the blood ever 50 mg?

- A driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardIf you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forward
- Does a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?arrow_forwardFind the average rate of change of f(x)=x2+2x8 on the interval [5,a] in simplest forms in terms ofa.arrow_forwardbThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forward
- Let f(x)=1x . Find a number c such that the average rate of change of the functionfon the interval (1,c) is 14arrow_forwardThe population Pinmillions of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardThe cost in dollars of making x items is given by the function Cx)=10x+500. a. The fixed cost is determined when zero items are produced. Find the fixed cost for this item. b.What is the cost of making 25 items? c.Suppose the maximum cost allowed is SI500. What are the domain and range of the cost function, C(x) ?arrow_forward
