- 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_forwardA forest fire leaves behind an area of grass burned in an expanding circular pattern. If the radius of the circle of burning grass is increasing with time according to the formula r(t)=2t+1 , express the area burned as a function of time, t (minutes).arrow_forwardUse your schools library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find real-life applications of approximations of functions.arrow_forward
- Cancer Insulation workers who were exposed to asbestos and employed before 1960 experienced an increased likelihood of lung cancer. If a group of insulation workers has a cumulative total of 100,000 years of work experience with their first date of employment t years ago, then the number of lung cancer causes occuring within the group can be modeled using the function Nt=0.00437t3.2. Find the rate of growth of the number of workers with lung cancer in a group as described by the following first dates of employment.
