- When a certain drug is taken orally, the concentration of the drug in the patient's bloodstream After t minutes is given by C(t)=0.06t0.0002t2 where 0t240 and concentration is measured in mg/L .When is the maximum serum concentration reached, and what is that maximum concentration?arrow_forwardbThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardWaterWater flows into a tank, and a certain part of it drains out through a valve. The volume v in cubic feet of water in the tank at time t satisfies the equation dvdt=5(v/3). If the process continues for a long time, how much water will be in the tank?arrow_forward
- The table shows the mid-year populations (in millions) of five countries in 2015 and the projected populations (in millions) for the year 2025. (a) Find the exponential growth or decay model y=aebt or y=aebt for the population of each country by letting t=15 correspond to 2015. Use the model to predict the population of each country in 2035. (b) You can see that the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom are growing at different rates. What constant in the equation y=aebt gives the growth rate? Discuss the relationship between the different growth rates and the magnitude of the constant.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_forwardSuppose that the initial mass of radioactive substance is m0 and the half-life of the substance is h. Let m(t) be the mass remaining at time t. a What is meant by the half-life h? b Write a formula for m(t) in terms of the half-life h. c Write a formula for the relative decay rate r in terms of the half-life h. d Write a formula for m(t) in terms of the relative decay rate r.arrow_forward
