Reminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.
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
During what time period is the drug concentration level at least 1.5 milligrams per liter?

- The Decibel scale Exercise S-7 through S-10 refer to the decibel scale. If one sound has a relative intensity one-tenth that of another, how do their decibel levels compare?arrow_forwardWhat is the carrying capacity for a population modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=250,0001+499e0.45t ? initial population for the model?arrow_forwardIce CubeAn ice cube that is 3 cm on each side is melting at a rate of 2 cm3per min. How fast is the length of the side decreasing?arrow_forward
- Tracer Dye The amount of a tracer dye injected into the blood stream decrease exponentially, with a decay constant of 3 per minute. If 6 cc are present initially, how many cubic centimeters are present after 10 minutes? Here k will be negative.arrow_forwardThe population of a culture of bacteria is modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=14,2501+29e0.62t where t is inarrow_forward
